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

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....

Started my airline career on the Dash 8-300. Really miss it. Now flying the ATR…. No comment 😂😂😂.

Was that with LIAT by any chance? 🙂

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!

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.

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... Keep up your exceptional work, there are not many channels that come even close to yours!

Very informative. Always enjoy your content, Magnar. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice. Thanks for uploading!

That was an excellent video in both content and videography! You have a gift for making the mundane seem interesting by keeping it simple yet informative. I look forward to your next video with great anticipation. 😊

Very nice! I've flown the Q400 on the X-Plane 11 simulator and really appreciate this detailed insight into the aircraft, especially the classic Dash 8 variants (-100, -200, -300).

Thank you Mr. Magnar for your videos, I really enjoyed the clarity and details of them. A big Pura Vida from Costa Rica. Safe flights and God speed.

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.

Thank you very much for the History and the detailed Presentation!🙂👍

Very informative video. Thank you captain 🙌

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.

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.

Very cool channel. Excellent stuff. Just subbed :) Love aviation!

Excellent quality upload. Many thanks for all the work you must have put into producing it. I became a subscriber due to the quality of your work. You provide detailed information about this iconic aircraft, and I appreciate it! Thanks again.

Very interesting Magnar, thank you!

Very cool

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!

Nice video sir thank you 😍😊

That mystery panel is a different but very effective way to handle that function (being internationally vague, watch the whole video)

11:34 Other way around…..red disc is a thermal discharge, yellow is an intentional discharge

I wanted to see the back of the aircraft and a peek inside the cargo bay. Still a good video.😁

The q400 is a very comfortable, quiet and roomy aircraft. Far superior to any of those irritating regional jets

I believe you have the fire extinguisher discharge discs the other way round 🤔

@absthewonderdog

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

@NOELTM

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.

Sorry if I missed it but... you're not in Nigeria anymore?

Har stor glede av dine videoer, Magnar. Selveste Blancolirio refererte forleden til dine ATR videoer. Respekt! Velkommen innom på Geiteryggen, Torp eller Jarlsberg ved anledning! Flyr henholdsvis Yak 52, NA T6 Texan og single pilot på DHC-6 Twin Otter på de nevnte flyplassene.
