To me the Q300 is the most appealing turboprop ever produced, I just love the main landing gear
naa the Q400 is best
nah, 200 !
;-) especially in mountainous terrain.
Beechcraft king air is more appealing
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....
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!
Vast, cold climate countries seem to have nothing better to do than play hockey and build tough, no-nonsense aircraft.
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? 🙂
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).
YEAH
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!
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.
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).
Always loved the -8, beautiful aircraft!
Air New Zealand fleet of 23 Dash 8 300 all have forward galley and fa area .
Very informative. Always enjoy your content, Magnar. Thanks for sharing!
This was the best and most informative Dash 8 walk around video that I have ever seen. Very well done. Thank you
Thanks for the detailed walk around. My girlfriend worked in northern Quebec (Canadian province) doing medevac with dash8s (and other smaller planes like Twin Otter) so the information was interesting. She looked at it as well with fond memories.
Thank you for the tour. Even in X-Plane, it's a handful to fly.
Thanks - a thorough and interesting walk-round
Herlig presentasjon og walk around. Tusen takk!
Takker og bukker!
Very informative video. Thank you captain 🙌
Definitely the most beautiful jet prop airplane
lol no, its an fugly flying pencil thats also poor performing for pax and pilots
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.
I love the video, so happy to see one about one of my favorite aircraft. Would love to see some chapter bookmarks though.
Done!
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.
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.
@@carlveilleux5744 Like on the Fokker-50
Thank you very much for the History and the detailed Presentation!🙂👍
Very informative video, just the way I like them. Thanks Captain!
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.
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. 😊
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!
Thank you for sharing ,I really enjoyed
Hope to take a vacation someday in the Maldives ❤
Thanks for this groundcourse Magnar 😊
What a great aircraft ! a real shame I never came to evaluate it, I'm sure it realy would suit me.
Also I wonder who so few people are aware of the De Havilland line of aircraft where they have such a prominent place in aviation.
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.

Other way around…..red disc is a thermal discharge, yellow is an intentional discharge
Very nice. Thanks for uploading!
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.
Tusen takk! Planlegger en Norgestur i sommer, og en luftetur med deg vil være en ære. Jeg er godt kjent på Geiteryggen. Var instruktør for flykubben i et par år før det ble ruteflyging med Coast Airs Jetstream til og fra Bergen.
@@FlywithMagnar , - Hyggelig! Ta kontakt når det nærmer seg. Om du tar med GoPro hadde vært morsomt om du ville lage noe om acro i vår Yak52.
@@DHC-6aviator That would be an awesome video I'm sure!
Hälsningar från Sverige och Orust ;-)
GoProen er alltid med.
Very cool channel. Excellent stuff. Just subbed :) Love aviation!
I wanted to see the back of the aircraft and a peek inside the cargo bay.
Still a good video.😁
I believe you have the fire extinguisher discharge discs the other way round 🤔
Definitely the other way around. Yellow = fired into the engine, Red = overpressure.
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.
That mystery panel is a different but very effective way to handle that function (being internationally vague, watch the whole video)
As a Canadian I am more partial to the Dash-8 than the ATR-72 but both are very nice turboprop aircraft
Magnar could you please make a video like “q400 vs atr” from a neutral point of view 😂
Discussing the perfomance and also which is in theory better than the other
And tour own personal opinion (i guess it) 😂
It's on my to-do-list, which unfortunately is very long. The Q400 and the ATR 72 are in fact very different and designed for different markets.
This would indeed be very interesting.
Hello Captain, i really love your videos and i refresh my proficiency at home.. Could you please in the future to do a video explaining the RADAR ?? How do you deal with it and how do you interpret echos etc... Thanks a lot !! :)
Great suggestion! I have put it on my to-do-list.
@@FlywithMagnar Talking about suggestions, could you tell something about the usage of shortwave in aviation ?
Meaning both dommestic (africa for instance) as cross the ocean flights here.
Very interesting Magnar, thank you!
The q400 is a very comfortable, quiet and roomy aircraft. Far superior to any of those irritating regional jets
Lol yea false, I flew the thing 3 years. Worst customer experience ever.
different strokes... ;-)
I've enjoyed flights in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Canada, and USA ... from a customer view, flying in/out of airports with 'difficult' patterns, wind conditions, i appreciate the "robustness" of the DHC aircraft, and their good handling in tough conditions...most of my flights were in 200 & 300 variants..
Thank you Captain for the insightful video! Could you maybe make a video on performance differences between the ATR42 and the ATR72? I would be interesting to see how the V speeds typically differ, maybe fuel flow, etc? I would love to learn more about it :) Thanks again!
That video will come soon! We are waiting for an ATR 42 to join the fleet.
@@FlywithMagnar that sounds great! Looking forward to it :)
@@FlywithMagnar Please make a video about the ATR 42/72 and the Dash-8, both the old models and the new models. About similarities and differences. About how they try to differentiate and position themselves in the market. Tusind tak!
Sorry if I missed it but... you're not in Nigeria anymore?
Thank you for this extensive walk around and cockpit explanation. But what are these things sticking out at the engine cowling, 2 to be seen at 12:32. They are located between the propeller and the main gear bay.
Do you mean the probes on the right hand side of the cowling? They are a ventilation probes, but I cannot tell for what.
@@FlywithMagnar Yes I mean those two sticking out on the right. Maybe you can find out sometime, asking around or so. I would be interested to know... Thanks.
An engineer told me the probe to the right is to dump excess fuel if the fuel collector tank is full. This tank collects fuel from the fuel line after the engine is shut down. The other probe is to relieve excessive pressure from the engine oil system, for example if there is too much oil in the oil tank.
@@FlywithMagnar Wow that was quick! Thanks for this information!😀😀
Very cool
my daughter inlaw flys these for Qantas.
Just some differences between the Q300 and the more newer version the Q400 though but quite a few things are similar
Nice video sir thank you 😍😊
APU (air intake) in the tail...is that correct?..odd location for an inlet...
I noticed that too. I wonder if that was a mistake.
Yes, it's correct. Apparently, the Canadians like to put the air intake at the rear, cf. the PT6 engine.
Dash 8 APU can only be used on the ground if that helps
It is incorrect. He has the APU exhaust correct, but the APU intake is the square hole forward of that. The hole at the back is the air conditioning packs exhaust.
@@absthewonderdogYes, this man is correct.
wait so there are more atr aircrafts in order for the maldivian airlines?
Yes. The plan is to have six ATRs before the end of this year.
Its sad to see the Dash 8 leaving airline company I love the open rotor engine.
That's a funny way to say 'props' 🤗 Though a do agree.
It's been about 1 year my ear is still not good from a dash flight
Hi
Do atrs have propellers pitch reverse ?
I have seen It at work on Saab 340
Thanks
Yes, all aircraft with turboprop engines have reverse.
Where are their control levers located ?? Tell me please which of your videos shall i check
Thanks
@@FlywithMagnar Hmmm Fokker-27, Bristoll-Britania ??? do not. but indeed most do.

Selvfølgelig!
Is anyone still flying the Q400 in 2024 or have they all been phased out?
There are over 400 Q400's in service around the world. Major operators include Qantaslink, Westjet Encore,Porter and Air Canada Express.
So many of them still flying
Q400 > ATR
