A Canadair RJ-200 pilot reported a 250 KIAS speed restriction due to
structural reasons. Can anyone provide more detailed info on the RJ-200 problem??? |

If there were a structural problem that required slower speeds, I would think the FAA would ground the fleet. And, who would fly them anyway with such a limitation? |

250 KIAS SPEED RESTRICTION
When the wings on the King Airs were falling off they didn't issue a speed
restriction. However, all the bolts have to be changed now at 5 years and the bathtub fittings inspected. The later models have the wing bolts in shear rather than tension. Too bad the theory was "safe life" rather than "fail safe." But that WAS how most airplanes were built. Karl "Curator" N185KG "Bob Moore" wrote in message . 122... wrote Sounds fishy. If there were a structural problem that required slower speeds, I would think the FAA would ground the fleet. And, who would fly them anyway with such a limitation? Not fishy at all. See my previous post about the windshield heat system. In addition, I flew the L-188 Lockheed Electra for a couple of years with an FAA mandated speed restriction due to the wings falling off.
