Method A takeoff we call it, when we engage our CTOT until we get the correct engine torques then release the brakes

Was a great way to send off WestJet’s Saabs as it was my last flight on one!

TURBO Prop....which translates to TURBINE DRIVEN PROPELLER... A Turbine Engine spins the propeller, one on each side of the Aero-Plane..... the view is of the Exhaust End of the TURBINE ENGINE....
There are NO APU Aux Power Units on small Turbo Prop Planes......
