Mastering the CRJ-900 Flight Deck
Move beyond basic flight controls to master the operational boundaries and system logic of the CRJ-900. Learn to manage the aircraft's specific quirks and performance limits like a seasoned first officer.
Like Duolingo, but for Mastering the CRJ-900 Flight Deck. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
54 levels across 4 sections, about 108 minutes end to end, roughly 22 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Managing the Takeoff and Landing Envelope, Navigating Power and Environmental Systems, Handling Automation and Flight Controls, and Operating in Adverse Weather Conditions. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in Mastering the CRJ-900 Flight Deck
- Tailwinds increase the speed at which the wheels hit the ground
- The rudder is used to align the nose with the runway
- Brakes must dissipate more energy when the ground speed is higher
- Control surfaces have a physical limit to how much wind force they can fight
- Crosswinds create a pivoting force on the tail
- Strong winds can cause uneven lift on the wings during the roll
- The physical limitation of control surfaces in high crosswinds
- Exceeding limits means the rudder is 'maxed out' and can't stop the pivot
- Steering becomes ineffective if the wind force overpowers the tires and rudder
- The sequence of events when a crosswind pushes a plane off-center
- Consequences of attempting a takeoff in excessive wind
- Tailwinds add to the plane's speed over the ground
- Crosswinds push the plane toward the side of the runway
- Matching wind types to their specific operational impact
- Exceeding limits means the rudder is 'maxed out'
- Steering becomes ineffective if the wind force overpowers the tires

Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
If you land with a 10-knot tailwind instead of in calm air, how does it affect your touchdown?
