What is the minimum required crew for a CRJ 200 flight?

The minimum required crew for a CRJ 200 flight is two pilots. This requirement stems from regulations governing commercial aviation, which mandate that a two-pilot crew is necessary to ensure adequate oversight and safety during flight operations. The presence of both a captain and a first officer allows for effective workload management, especially during critical phases of flight such as takeoff and landing, where clear communication and coordinated actions are vital for safety. Additionally, having two pilots supports adherence to standard operating procedures and enhances decision-making capabilities in the cockpit.

The other choices do not meet the regulatory requirements for operation. While having a flight attendant is beneficial for passenger safety and service in larger aircraft, only one pilot is insufficient for commercial operation of the CRJ 200, which requires a second pilot to safely conduct flights.
