Aircraft
On the approach; we selected flaps to one and received a slats fail caution EICAS message along with a slats zero indication on the flight controls synoptic page. We ran the slats fail checklist and still; no slats; along with slats fail message. We notified Dispatch; Maintenance; the flight attendants and passengers. We declared an emergency with ATC and landed without further incident. At the time of the failure; we were in IMC conditions; no ice or rain observed. This is the second occurrence of this failure for me within a week.
While on final approach; when configuring the aircraft for landing; a 'Slats Fail' caution message was displayed when the Slat/Flap Selector was moved to the '1' position. At that time; the approach was discontinued and ATC was contacted and apprised of the situation. The emergency procedure checklist for 'Slats Fail' was executed; an emergency was declared with air traffic control; and the aircraft was landed in a modified configuration as designated in the emergency procedure.
A CRJ-700 EICAS alerted SLATS FAIL the Flap/Slat 1 was selected; so an emergency was declared; the QRH completed and an uneventful landing completed.
