Narrative:
Crj 100/200 flap fail gremlin. Flight was operated normally within all FAA/air carrier standards on a clear day. We were on ZZZ final approach; instructed to expect runway 17L. We were on an extended downwind for runway 17L and about to be cleared for visual approach when the first officer called for flaps 8 degrees. I verified the aircraft speed (200 KIAS) and selected flaps 8 degrees. After the flaps reached 8 degrees we reviewed a 'flaps fail' amber cas message with the aural chime. I elected to declare an emergency and requested runway 17R and time to run our checklist. I worked through the flaps fail QRH and briefed the flight attendant; company via ACARS; and the passenger. I then assumed my pilot monitoring duties and closely observed the first officer make the flap 8 degree landing to perfection. Flight arrived at the gate with no further problems and deplaned as usual. Flap fail cas message. Followed QRH; then proceeded to land. Unsure; maintenance event. Crj 100/200 issue.

Narrative: CRJ 100/200 FLAP FAIL GREMLIN. FLT WAS OPERATED NORMALLY WITHIN ALL FAA/ACR STANDARDS ON A CLR DAY. WE WERE ON ZZZ FINAL APCH; INSTRUCTED TO EXPECT RWY 17L. WE WERE ON AN EXTENDED DOWNWIND FOR RWY 17L AND ABOUT TO BE CLRED FOR VISUAL APCH WHEN THE FO CALLED FOR FLAPS 8 DEGS. I VERIFIED THE ACFT SPD (200 KIAS) AND SELECTED FLAPS 8 DEGS. AFTER THE FLAPS REACHED 8 DEGS WE REVIEWED A 'FLAPS FAIL' AMBER CAS MESSAGE WITH THE AURAL CHIME. I ELECTED TO DECLARE AN EMER AND REQUESTED RWY 17R AND TIME TO RUN OUR CHKLIST. I WORKED THROUGH THE FLAPS FAIL QRH AND BRIEFED THE FLT ATTENDANT; COMPANY VIA ACARS; AND THE PAX. I THEN ASSUMED MY PLT MONITORING DUTIES AND CLOSELY OBSERVED THE FO MAKE THE FLAP 8 DEG LNDG TO PERFECTION. FLT ARRIVED AT THE GATE WITH NO FURTHER PROBS AND DEPLANED AS USUAL. FLAP FAIL CAS MESSAGE.
