As a Captain on the Dash 8 Q400 I recommend this video to Dash pilots.....it has saved me to produce my own video on the features of this aircraft which is also an amazing machine...many thanks Captain as always....

To me the Q300 is the most appealing turboprop ever produced, I just love the main landing gear

Fantastic video thank you. My first Dash 8 flight was a hop between Vancouver and Victoria. Fabulous ride. I met a Dash 8 captain on that trip who talked about how much she loved flying up and down the west coast doing multiple legs in a day with all that gorgeous scenery. Sounds like a wonderful job!

Thank you very much for this video. I always enjoy your precise, very detailed information on the aircraft. Since I'm not allowed to fly myself anymore for medical reasons, watching your videos is the second best thing to keep in touch with aviation...

Great video but as a DH8C F.O, there's a point of correction on the fire bottles.When the red disc is missing,its a sign of thermal discharge (overheat) whereas if the yellow disc is missing that's a sign of pilot action (bottles fired).

Both aircraft have their pros and cons. We climbed out of LHR at 230kts, everywhere else the SOP was 210kts, vs the ATR we climb at 170kts. Q400 was a handful especially if we had to level off at say 2000ft until cleared to a FL, the speed would build so quick before Alt Star. The ATRs methodology and info available at hand is fantastic.

My mother was the Chief of Weights Engineering for DeHavilland and the Dash 8 was the last plane she worked on. Before working at DH she had the same position at AV ROE and was one of the designers of the Arrow. I love the lines of the Dash 7 and 8 and note that some newer super efficient designs from NASA have similar forms. This was very interesting for me to watch.

fabulous overview, best I've seen on YT... one item that you 'missed', was the reverse thrust capability; when the props were big in the frame, I was waiting for that, since it's a key feature in many locations with short fields, and saves brake and tire wear, plus allowing ground maneuverinh without needing a tractor...but, otherwise, delightful! BTW, my military dad spent many hours travelling in the Buffalo in UN service, and the Twin Otter is an everyday sight in Vancouver and Victoria harbours.

Wow never knew the old Dash 8 didn't have electric trim, I just assumed if it has AP it has electric trim. I went back and checked the manuals, indeed electric trim switches are not mentioned, however the electric trim motor is still present and only used by the AP. Learned something new today.

@carlveilleux5744 Жыл бұрын

The autopilot trim actuator can actually be used by the pilot in case of a failure of the manual trim. The pilot just has to flip a guarded switch ON then use a toggle switch to trim nose up or down just like an electric trim. This is just in case of emergency however, as in normale operation the aircraft is trimmed manually only. The elevator control is very efficient on the Dash 8 (too efficient compared to roll control some will say) so very little movement of the trim wheel is usually required in flight.

While living and working just outside Washington, D.C. in the 1980s &1990s, and working for the federal government, I booked many flights on U.S. Air's DASH-8 from-to Washington National Airport (DCA) - for short flights to the mid-Atlantic states and New England. U.S. Air was a popular and very successful Part 121 air carrier at DCA. They also flew the DASH 7, MD-80, and the B-737. The flights were always on-time, fast, dependable, and U.S. Air had a corporate culture that demonstrated they valued their customers greatly. The whole organization was top-notch IMO. Too bad US Air went out of business after 9-11. They were a very good airline with a great reputation.

@octagonPerfectionist Жыл бұрын

at my local airport they'd always wheel out a final step for that door - all the better to not trip and fall with! it would have a handrail too. almost all the regional flights within the province are done with a q400!

@absthewonderdog 10 ай бұрын

Definitely the other way around. Yellow = fired into the engine, Red = overpressure.

@NOELTM 10 ай бұрын

Agree Discharge indicator discs ..... The yellow disc is the system discharge indicator and is ejected when the discharge of extinguishant from the bottle is authentic. The red disc is the thermal discharge indicator and is ejected by extinguishant escaping to atmosphere due to thermal expansion in the lines.
