Flight Notes— how to fly the CRJ700

The Bombardier CRJ700, which entered service in 2001, is a stretched version of the CRJ100/200 regional jet, with seating capacity increased from 50 to 70. The CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) family of aircraft was in turn derived from the Canadair Challenger business jet, which began its operational life as the LearStar 600.

In addition to an increase in length and upgraded landing gear, the CRJ700 features a wing with a longer span and leading edge slats that add additional lift. Like other members of the CRJ family, the CRJ700 cockpit features an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) avionics suite and "glass cockpit" instrumentation.
