Differences training CRJ700 and CRJ900

Overview

CRJ700 and CRJ900 Differences Training overview

The aim of the CRJ 700 and CRJ900 differences training course is to provide you with sufficient theoretical knowledge and FSTD instruction to safely operate the most popular version of the CRJ Series. The main objective is to help with the transition from CRJ100/200 or CRJ1000 to CRJ700/900.

The transition to CRJ700 CRJ900 consists of following parts:

• 15:30 hours of variant-related differences ground school from CRJ100/200
• 04:00 hours of variant-related differences ground school from CRJ1000
• 03:00 FSTD (FFS) training from CRJ100/200
• 02:30 FSTD (FFS) training from CRJ1000

The CRJ700/900 differences training course is followed by either partial proficiency check with an EASA CL65 TRE in simulator or by the LIFUS within your operator.

Prerequisites

Before being enrolled into the CL65 - CRJ700/900 differences training, you have to meet following:

• be a holder of valid Medical Certificate Class 1 
• be a holder of EASA ATPL(A) for PIC or EASA CPL(A) for Co-pilot
• be a holder of CL65 type rating for any of the CRJ variants, or
• completed the FSTD part of the CL65 initial typerating

Simulator

The simulator training is adjusted to your experience with CRJ variants. The training consists of single simulator session lasting 3 hours. If the transition is done from the CRJ700/900. The main difference of the CRJ700/900 compared to the older CRJ100/200 is the advanced automatization including the use of FADEC as well as installation of the slats making the eyesight a bit different during the landing.

Compared to CRJ1000, the CRJ700/900 is lighter and has little different automatization including the change in the systems design.
