Scope of This Manual This CRJ Pilot Operating Handbook is issued by PSA Airlines, Inc. to flight crewmembers qualified on the aircraft and to other individuals and agencies whose duties make it necessary that material contained herein be available to them. It is the responsibility of such individual or agency to maintain this manual in a current condition. A Record of Revisions sheet is located in the front of this manual. After insertion of each revision, enter the Revision Date (opposite the proper Revision Number) and Initials of the individual inserting the revision.

This Pilot Operating Handbook is that portion of PSA Airlines, Inc.’s operating manual which can substitute for the FAAApproved Airplane Flight Manual as provided by FAR 121.141. Where the procedures differ from those in the FAAApproved Airplane Flight Manual, PSA Airlines, Inc. has determined that equivalent safety is provided by such alternate procedures and assumes ultimate responsibility for this determination. Flight crewmembers are expected to utilize the operating techniques and procedures outlined in this Pilot Operating Handbook. A Log of Current Pages is contained in the Pilot Operating Handbook, listing all pages and their current dates. This log may be used as a checklist provided that your manual is current through the last revision. Revision of subject material on a page is indicated by a vertical line encompassing the material, indicating addition, change, or deletion of material. Masculine pronouns used herein will include the feminine. Abnormal Operations. The FOM will provide guidance on checklist usage and methodology for handling the QRH. Errors and discrepancies should be brought to the attention of the Training or Technical Publications departments.

Chapter 3: Limitations The following is a listing of the CRJ-200 and CRJ-701 limitations. PSA pilots are responsible for being aware of and observing all limitations. Some limitations have been modified and are more restrictive than the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) in order to promote commonality between the two fleet types. These limitations must be adhered to unless otherwise directed by a QRH, MEL, or CDL procedure. All limitations apply to the -200 and -701 unless noted otherwise by or preceding the text, chart or table. In addition, certain limitations must be memorized. Memory items are identified by bold print. Boxes that contain memory items are identified by a bold border. These items are of such importance that flight crews must be continuously aware of them in order to avoid exceeding the limitation, prevent equipment damage, and ensure safety.
3.1
Introduction
The limitations included in this chapter contain items unique to the CL600, model 2B19, Bombardier CRJ-200; and the CL600, model 2C10, Bombardier CRJ-701 airplanes. Observance of these limitations is mandatory. The information presented in this chapter contains limitations that have been extracted from the AFM, however these limitations are not all inclusive. In addition, POH limitations do not represent all aircraft configurations of the CRJ, only those associated with PSA Airlines, Inc.’s aircraft.

Center of Gravity Limits
The airplane must be loaded in accordance with the loading instructions in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM). TAKEOFF Pitch Trim WARNING • •
Pitch trim must be set according to the aircraft's computed center of gravity. Failure to set the pitch trim appropriate to the computed center of gravity may result in excessive rotation rate at takeoff.
Rotation Rate WARNING Excessive rotation rates (exceeding 3 degrees per second) or overrotations may lead to high pitch attitudes being attained while the aircraft is near the ground. This can reduce stall margins significantly resulting in stick shaker / pusher activation and potentially loss of control. Pilots must rotate smoothly towards the target pitch attitude then transition to speed control.

Operation in Icing Conditions
3.6.1
Definition of Icing Conditions
COWL ANTI-ICE - Icing Conditions exist when the OAT (on the ground and for takeoff) or TAT (inflight) is 10°C or below, and: • •
Visible moisture in any form (such as clouds, fog, mist, rain, snow, sleet, or ice crystals), is present in flight, or below 400 feet AGL for ground operations, or When operating on surfaces that are wet or contaminated.
WING ANTI-ICE - Icing conditions exist when the OAT (takeoff) is 5°C or TAT (inflight) is 10°C or below, and: • •
Visible moisture in any form (such as clouds, fog, mist, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals) is present in flight, or below 400 feet AGL for ground operations, or The runway is wet or contaminated. WARNING Do not hold in icing conditions with slats and/or flaps extended. WARNING Take-off is prohibited with frost, ice, snow or slush adhering to any critical surface (wings, upper fuselage, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, control surfaces or engine inlets).
•
Take-off is permitted with frost adhering to the underside of the wing (maximum 1/8 inch), which is caused by cold soaked fuel. WARNING Even small amounts of frost, ice, snow or slush on the wing leading edges and upper wing surface may adversely change the stall speeds, stall characteristics and the protection provided by the stall protection system, which may result in loss of control on take-off.
• • •
ANTI-ICE will be used any time that icing conditions are expected prior to thrust reduction in the After Takeoff Check. Single Engine Taxi is prohibited when ramps or taxiways are contaminated with snow, slush or ice OR during icing conditions. To prevent wing contamination from reverse jet blast, operating the thrust reversers during taxi operations on wet and contaminated surfaces should be avoided.
3.6.2
Tactile Check.
In addition to a visual check, a tactile check of the wing leading edge, wing forward upper surface and wing rear upper surface is required during the External Walkaround inspection to determine that the wing is free from frost, ice, snow or slush when: • • • •
The OAT is 5°C or less, or The wing fuel temperature is 0°C or less, or The atmospheric conditions have been conducive to frost formation. Ice and frost may continue to adhere to wing surfaces for some time even at outside air temperatures above 5°C.

Cowl Anti-Ice System.
Cowl Anti-Ice must be ON for all ground and flight operations when icing conditions exist except when the inflight SAT is -40°C or below, or ICE is annunciated by the ice detection system.
3.6.4
Wing Anti-ice System.
Wing Anti-Ice must be ON for takeoff and flight operations when ICE is annunciated by the ice detection system, or when icing conditions exist and the airspeed is less than 230 KIAS except when the inflight SAT is -40°C or below. •
When Type III or IV anti-icing fluids have been applied, the wing anti-ice system must only be selected and confirmed ON, if required, just prior to thrust increase for takeoff.
•
L or R WING A/ICE caution messages may be posted during taxi but must be verified out (i.e. WING A/ICE ON advisory message posted) prior to take-off.
Wing Anti-Ice must be ON for the final two minutes prior to takeoff during all ground operations 5°C OAT or below unless Type III or IV anti-icing fluid has been applied.
3.6.5
Supercooled Large Droplet Icing.
Continued operation in areas where supercooled large droplet (SLD) icing conditions exist is prohibited. SLD icing conditions are indicated by ice accretion on the flight compartment side windows. •
Wing and cowl anti-icing systems must be ON in SLD icing conditions
•

Ozone Concentration
The following data are presented in order to determine the flight altitudes and / or duration at altitude in compliance with the cabin ozone concentration requirements as per FAR 25.832, which states that the airplane cabin ozone concentration during flight must not exceed: • •
0.25 parts per million by volume, sea level equivalent, at any time above flight level 320, and 0.1 parts per million by volume, sea level equivalent, time-weighted average during any 3-hour interval above flight level 270.
•
‘Sea level equivalent’ refers to conditions of 25°C and 760 millimeters of mercury pressure.
Cabin ozone concentration limits are dependent upon the latitude, time of year and geographic location. These tables are separated into Eastern North America (i.e. east of 100 °W) and Western North America (i.e. west of 100 °W). Two checks are required to determine the cabin ozone concentration flight profile limitation. The first check determines the maximum allowable altitude while the second check determines the maximum flight duration at altitude. It is permitted to interpolate linearly between months, latitudes or altitudes.

UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED Normal Procedures Introduction
4a-1 9 MAY 11
Chapter 4a: Normal Procedures 4.1
Introduction
These Normal Procedures have been developed to provide guidance for operating the Bombardier CRJ in a standardized manner. These procedures have been compiled from various sources and consist of normal checklists, standard profiles and standard callouts. These Normal Procedures comply with the safety of flight issues dictated by the AFM. For this reason, compliance with the procedures contained in this chapter is compulsory unless the situation requires modification for safety factors. The Bombardier CRJ uses the ‘dark cockpit’ philosophy. This is defined as normal flight with no EICAS messages displayed or switchlights illuminated. Normal flight is defined as an aircraft in smooth air, utilizing normal bleed extraction, without malfunction and clear of icing.

Checklist Usage.
All checklists performed are initiated at the command of the Captain on the ground and by the Pilot Flying (PF) in flight. The Captain, however, still retains final authority for all actions directed or performed. No checklist will be performed while taxiing across runways or if complex taxi instructions are issued. When a checklist is completed, the pilot reading the checklist will state the name of the check and the word “complete,” i.e., “Before Takeoff Check, Complete.” Some checklists contain a line. If the checklist contains a line, the first section is considered “down to the line,” and the second section is “below the line.” When the appropriate crewmember reads the checklist to the line, he will state, “Down to the line.” Crewmembers should not call “to the line” when calling for a checklist, as it will always be read to the line until the appropriate crewmember calls for “Below the line.” At no time should a challenge be recited from memory. If a pilot incorrectly responds to a challenge, the pilot reading the checklist will state the proper response and then wait for the corrected response before proceeding.

4.2.3
First Flight of the Day (FFD).
Some aircraft systems require operational verification prior to the first flight of the day (FFD). These checklist items are indented on the Acceptance Check, After Start Check, and Shutdown Check and must be completed and read on the FFD only. For subsequent flights on the same day, these items may be omitted.
4.2.4
Delayed Start (D).
When the Captain is ready to start the left/right engine after utilizing single engine taxi, delayed start procedures will be used. The items on the Before Start and After Start Checklists that need to be read aloud are marked with a (D).
4.3
Types of Checklists
There are two types of checklists: Silent Checklists, and Challenge and Response Checklists.
4.3.1
Silent Checklist.
Silent Checklists may be preceded by a flow, and the items will be verified complete using the checklist after the flow is done. In the absence of a flow, the designated crewmember will read the checklist item and carry out the appropriate action. A Silent Checklist is indicated by the absence of a response designator. When a pilot completes a silent checklist, he will state aloud, “(Checklist Title) Check Complete.” The following checklists are Silent: • • • •
Safety & Power On Check After Takeoff Check (PM flow) After Landing Check (FO Flow) Securing Check
4.3.2
Challenge and Response Checklist.
Challenge and Response Checklists may be preceded by a flow that will contain some of the checklist items. These checklists are read aloud, and the applicable pilot shall respond to the challenge after having verified or changing the existing configuration. Both pilots shall cross-check, whenever feasible, the validity of the response. The pilot reading the checklist shall wait for the response before proceeding with the next item. If the actual configuration is not in accordance with the checklist requirement, corrective action shall be initiated. The following checklists are Challenge and Response: • • • • • • • •
Acceptance Check (C and FO flow) Before Start Check (C flow) After Start Check (C and FO flow) Taxi Check Before Takeoff Check (FO flow) Descent Check Before Landing Check (PM flow) Shutdown Check (C and FO flow)
4.3.3
Flow.
Flow patterns are established to configure aircraft systems or accomplish required tasks in an organized manner without reference to a checklist. There are some flow items that are not directly backed up with a checklist reference. These items show what is accomplished / checked in the flow box. The items that are backed up with a checklist reference show what is accomplished / checked in the expanded section. When accomplishing flows, pilots are expected to complete all items in order from memory. Applicable checklist (except Safety & Power On and Securing) are initiated after the flow pattern is completed. PSA Airlines, Inc. CRJ Pilot Operating Handbook

Flight Mode Annunciation.
4a-3 9 MAY 11
Reference to the Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) as well as a thorough understanding of all armed and engagement indications is essential to the successful operation of the autoflight system. It is imperative to visually confirm all FMA changes. Below 3,000 ft. AGL callouts of all FMA changes are required. The pilot making the FCP selection will make the FMA callout.

• Note • All tires should be inspected for evidence of bulges, cuts, bruises, embedded foreign objects, underinflation, excessive wear, or visible cord. The Captain will contact Maintenance Control and have the tire inspected when any doubt exists as to its serviceability. • • • • •
All covers, plugs, picket/mooring lines are removed Pay particular attention to any evidence of fluid leaks from components, drains, panels, and airplane skin Condition of skin (visible damage) on radome section, fuselage, wings, nacelles, pylons, and empennage All access panels and doors not actually involved in maintenance are secured Pitot static probes for evidence of freezing, severe discoloration, condition, and security
The word “CHECK” is used throughout this walkaround procedure to describe a visual examination that will detect obvious unsatisfactory condition/discrepancies. Start at the top of the boarding stairs, proceed in the direction indicated in the external walkaround sequence illustration, and terminate at the bottom of the boarding stairs. During cold weather operations, the flight crew must ensure that the fuselage, wings and tail surfaces are free from ice, snow or frost.

Before Start Flow and Check (Challenge & Response).
General. This flow and checklist is used to prepare for starting the engines. Trigger. Approximately 25 minutes prior to departure. For the first flight of the day, the Before Start Check will be executed following the completion of the Acceptance Check. On turn-around flights when the aircraft remains powered, crews will go directly to the Before Start Check when preparing for the next flight. When the aircraft is depowered between flights or there is a crew swap, crews will begin with the Acceptance Check. Departure Setup. The following items will be completed and reviewed aloud by both pilots prior to calling for the Before Start Check. 1.
ATIS
2.
ATC Clearance
3.
FMS Setup
4.
RTU Setup
5.
PFD Setup
Departure Setup (Expanded). Prior to calling for the Before Start Check, either crewmember will have received the ATIS and ATC clearance for the leg to be flown. Once these are received, the initial altitude, frequencies (COM and NAV on RTUs 1 & 2), transponder code, and altimeters should be set accordingly. TCAS should be set to AUTO & REL. The WX/TERR selection on the DCP should be set to terrain unless weather radar is expected to be used for departure.
• Note • Primary ATC communications will normally be conducted using COM 1. COM 2 will be used for Company, Maintenance, ATIS, etc. Both the Captain’s and First Officer’s PFDs and the FMS will be set in the following manner so that these settings can be reviewed and confirmed without delay prior to the Before Start Check. 1.
Both pilots will select and identify the respective appropriate navigation source. The PF must be in short range (green needles) if the departure procedure or the engine failure procedure requires localizer tracking, VOR tracking, or DME identification.
• Note • If the waypoint or DME required turn is preloaded from the FMS database both pilots may be in white needles. 2.
Set Flap Retraction Altitude (FRA) on the MDA bug to 1000 ft. above field elevation or as published in the Takeoff Report, whichever is higher.
3.
Set airspeed bug to 200 knots.
4.
Set heading bug to runway heading.
5.
Set the initial altitude in ALT preselect.
6.
Set up the assigned departure and route in the FMS.

Before Start Flow and Check (Challenge & Response).
General. This flow and checklist is used to prepare for starting the engines. Trigger. Approximately 25 minutes prior to departure. For the first flight of the day, the Before Start Check will be executed following the completion of the Acceptance Check. On turn-around flights when the aircraft remains powered, crews will go directly to the Before Start Check when preparing for the next flight. When the aircraft is depowered between flights or there is a crew swap, crews will begin with the Acceptance Check. Departure Setup. The following items will be completed and reviewed aloud by both pilots prior to calling for the Before Start Check. 1.
ATIS
2.
ATC Clearance
3.
FMS Setup
4.
RTU Setup
5.
PFD Setup
Departure Setup (Expanded). Prior to calling for the Before Start Check, either crewmember will have received the ATIS and ATC clearance for the leg to be flown. Once these are received, the initial altitude, frequencies (COM and NAV on RTUs 1 & 2), transponder code, and altimeters should be set accordingly. TCAS should be set to AUTO & REL. The WX/TERR selection on the DCP should be set to terrain unless weather radar is expected to be used for departure.
• Note • Primary ATC communications will normally be conducted using COM 1. COM 2 will be used for Company, Maintenance, ATIS, etc. Both the Captain’s and First Officer’s PFDs and the FMS will be set in the following manner so that these settings can be reviewed and confirmed without delay prior to the Before Start Check. 1.
Both pilots will select and identify the respective appropriate navigation source. The PF must be in short range (green needles) if the departure procedure or the engine failure procedure requires localizer tracking, VOR tracking, or DME identification.
• Note • If the waypoint or DME required turn is preloaded from the FMS database both pilots may be in white needles. 2.
Set Flap Retraction Altitude (FRA) on the MDA bug to 1000 ft. above field elevation or as published in the Takeoff Report, whichever is higher.
3.
Set airspeed bug to 200 knots.
4.
Set heading bug to runway heading.
5.
Set the initial altitude in ALT preselect.
6.
Set up the assigned departure and route in the FMS.
