QK8869 - Incident: Jazz CRJ2 at Washington on Nov 27th 2022

A Jazz Aviation Canadair CRJ-200, registration C-FFJA performing flight QK-8869 from Ottawa,ON (Canada) to Washington National,DC (USA) with 53 people on board, was dispatched according to minimum equipment list requirements with the right hand thrust reverser inoperative. The aircraft was on approach to Washington's National Ronald Reagan Airport when the crew received a "STALL FAIL" caution indication. The crew worked the related checklists, consulted with maintenance, informed ATC and calculated their landing distance required, which exceeded the landing distance available at the national airport (wet runway, weather conditions, the distance needed to be increased by 25% plus an additional distance due to adding 10 knots to the Vref due to the stall fail indication). The crew therefore decided to divert to Washington's International Dulles Airport, ATC declared emergency for the flight while the crew advised there was no emergency situation. The aircraft landed safely on Dulles' runway 19L about 40 minutes later.
