Not an easy question to answer. A lot of factors go into the equation.
How Heavy
How Hot
How Windy And What direction.
Runway Slope
Climb requirements.
That being said, CRJ 200's regularly land 26 and Depart 8 in PHL with about 5000FT available. For takeoffs, I think 46000lbs would be the around the max weight, and I am pretty sure with the right winds, you can land at 47000lbs which is MLW.

I can tell you that during the 2004 Indianapolis Airshow, Independence Air brought in one of their CRJ-200's for display. This airshow is held at Mt Comfort airport which the longest runway is about 5500 ft long and 150 ft wide.

Quoting AV8AJET (Reply 3): EV used the CR2 in EYW for a little while. Heavily restricted weight wise but that runway is 4800ft long. (MCO-EYW-MCO).
EV operated ATL - APF. I though it was restricted to 30 pax.
As for operating performance, the CRJ and ERJ both have "slick" wings usually requiring higher landing and rotation speeds. Talk to engineers and pilots, they will tell of the significant performance enhancement of Leading Edge Devices/slats.

Kenyan operator Jetlink + various UN contract operators fly the 50 seat CRJ into Goma, DRC, multiple times weekly. In fact, Jetlink's CRJs are CRJ-100 series, which are getting kind of tired and old.....
Goma is ~5000ft length, at a 5088ft elevation, and usually at a hot temperature.
If the CRJ can go in there, it can make it almost anywhere.....

Ah I thought Voyageur was the only one doing the CRJ flights into Goma... you just proved me wrong! Thanks!

There are plenty of places the CRJ-200 isn't capable of operating out of because of such factors like field elevation, density altitude, or terrain/obstacles. You can have a 5000 foot runway at sea level and be just fine for the most part. But at a higher elevation, things change.
So really, it varies based on what airport you want to fly out of. And it isn't just a matter of being able to get off the ground before the runway runs out, but also being able to adequately climb and clear terrain and obstacles once airborne, even if you lose an engine.
JAC is a good example. CRJ-200s would be just fine operating out of there if it were at sea level and there weren't mountains surrounding it. The CRJ-700 can and does operate out of there but still with some restriction. It is able to do it partly because of the enhanced wing with leading edge slats. The 757 can operate out of JAC just fine because it has good performance characteristics out of short runways and hot/high environments.

ok, GWY is an airport in the west of ireland at an elevation of 25 meters above sea level and has a runway of about 1,300 meters, would a crj200 be able to perate safely from GWY?
Of course numbers will vary greatly, but in order to carry enough to make a reasonable amount of money and go a reasonable distance 5500 feet below 3000 ft elevation and no obstacles, 6500 feet for low vis or questionable braking below 3000 feet elevation, and 7000 feet at high temps, elevations, or with obstacles. These are very round numbers, but that is what I used when running "what if" scenarios for diversions. With charts or runway analysis numbers, you can, of course, refine these numbers quite a bit.

There is another UN CRJ that I occasionally see here, it is not Canadian registered. Has some funky reg #; something like 4D-??? or 3D-??? Is that a Voyageur plane (all of which I believe are Canadian registered) or another contractor?

Quoting BMI727 (Reply 12): I forget what exactly it was that was different about these CR7s, but I think that they had the uprated engines off of the -900.
Are these the ones that had ski bins installed in place of pax seats?
