Narrative:

While in cruise flight at FL290, we received a 'flaps fail' caution message. We performed the abnormal procedure per our QRH and briefed for a no flap landing. We also consulted with our dispatcher and maintenance. After completing checklist items and familiarizing ourselves with the procedures we briefed the flight attendant that we were going to be doing a zero flap landing. We continued to our destination of atl since the flaps failed at zero and we were not required to divert per the QRH. On initial call to atl approach, we informed him of our situation, let him know of our speed limitations, requested runway 9L for landing, and requested the emergency equipment to be standing by. We carried extra speed on final due to gusting wind conditions in atl. The landing was uneventful, however, it was farther down the runway than planned. We stopped the aircraft using reverse thrust and minimum braking to avoid overheating the brakes. We then taxied to the gate, canceled the emergency equipment, and informed our dispatcher we were on the ground and safe. Brake temperatures were monitored and found to be within limits and steady. We performed a visual inspection of the landing gear and flaps and found no abnormalities. We shut down the airplane and contacted maintenance.

Narrative: WHILE IN CRUISE FLT AT FL290, WE RECEIVED A 'FLAPS FAIL' CAUTION MSG. WE PERFORMED THE ABNORMAL PROC PER OUR QRH AND BRIEFED FOR A NO FLAP LNDG. WE ALSO CONSULTED WITH OUR DISPATCHER AND MAINT. AFTER COMPLETING CHECKLIST ITEMS AND FAMILIARIZING OURSELVES WITH THE PROCS WE BRIEFED THE FA THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE DOING A ZERO FLAP LNDG. WE CONTINUED TO OUR DESTINATION OF ATL SINCE THE FLAPS FAILED AT ZERO AND WE WERE NOT REQUIRED TO DIVERT PER THE QRH. ON INITIAL CALL TO ATL APCH, WE INFORMED HIM OF OUR SIT, LET HIM KNOW OF OUR SPEED LIMITATIONS, REQUESTED RWY 9L FOR LNDG, AND REQUESTED THE EMER EQUIP TO BE STANDING BY. WE CARRIED EXTRA SPEED ON FINAL DUE TO GUSTING WIND CONDITIONS IN ATL. THE LNDG WAS UNEVENTFUL, HOWEVER, IT WAS FARTHER DOWN THE RWY THAN PLANNED. WE STOPPED THE ACFT USING REVERSE THRUST AND MINIMUM BRAKING TO AVOID OVERHEATING THE BRAKES. WE THEN TAXIED TO THE GATE, CANCELED THE EMER EQUIP, AND INFORMED OUR DISPATCHER WE WERE ON THE GND AND SAFE. BRAKE TEMPERATURES WERE MONITORED AND FOUND TO BE WITHIN LIMITS AND STEADY. WE PERFORMED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE LNDG GEAR AND FLAPS AND FOUND NO ABNORMALITIES. WE SHUT DOWN THE AIRPLANE AND CONTACTED MAINT.
