Anyways, is anyone familiar with SKY's CRJ-200 limitations, specifically the icing conditions for ground operations CRJ700/900 vs. 200? He's trying to figure out if the type II or IV fluid requirement applies to all three, or just the 700/900. He's also wondering if that requirement should be type III vs. type II fluid.

Next, how strict is SKY on the wording of the limitations? For example, if the number is "250 and below", is "250 and lower" considered acceptable?

He's also asking if anyone would be willing to review his crib sheet (saves on paper vs. the study packet) to make sure he's doing it accurately. PM me and I'll send his verboten gmail address.

He does promise to get a real email once he has an income.

Thanks from a friend and from me!
First off, last I checked, Yahoo and hotmail were both free.

Second, limitation are always verbatim. Know the exact verbage and don't deviate from it one bit.

Next, tell him if he got notes about a test from someone else, throw them away and do his own. Does he really want to base all his previous hard work and effort to get where he is now on someone else's notes? One mistake is all it takes.

Last, I don't know of anywhere in the US where type II and III fluid are used. I've only ever flown to places that have I and IV.

I would tell your "friend" to wait until he receives the study packet for whatever airplane SKW decides to give him, then worry about it. Getting a head start is a good idea, but things could change from now until January, which is still a ways away. Studying things handed down from forums sometimes can be detrimental. The packet will have the important items he will need to focus on.

Also, this isn`t gradeschool so having someone review his work to make sure he is doing it accurately is not someone else`s responsibility. If someone else says he is doing it correctly then he gets to groundschool only to find out it`s not correct, he can only blame himself.

Terantious, Mike's already received the study packet, so was asking his questions from it. Thanks for the cold water, though.

DENpilot, Mike'd would like to join, but his gmail account is specifically not allowed by Internet Brands (APC). Thanks for the verbatim answer. He made his own review sheet from the study packet, which is why he was wanting proofing. He'll hire someone instead of asking here.

I did the same thing... I agree, it makes a heck of a lot more sense to do some research first! I've been here 6 months, and would be happy to answer any questions for you. Just send me a PM. Good luck with your decision!

Really... It's this what airline training has become, pay someone to check my work, go online so someone can check my work... You are going to fly people, grow a pair and mature!!! It's not Riddle, ATP or a place like that, training wheels are off so welcome to the real world buddy!

How about just getting a new e-mail account, there are tons of places that will give you a free e-mail account.

I strongly suggest that you pay someone to proof read your work! Is english your first language?

Tell him to try to register anyway.

I don't understand the question. But SKW normally uses type-I for De-ice only (actually it has a short HOT if you can got off real quick) and type IV for anti-ice. I have not seen Type III used at all. I think I may have used type II rarely but not certain.

Verbatim is normally the requirement. If you miss one item on the fill-in the-blank test you will fail. "250 and lower" might mean failure.
