Awesome! Thanks mate. These fly over my house every day (in Nth QLD Australia) and I've always wanted to see one on the inside. Hopefully will be flying them in a few years :)
Great to be able to watch real pilots doing their job and also how casual they seem to be after engaging the AP. Although a lot of a pilots duty is so repetitive, just so long as they remain alert at all times. Sure wish i was a real pilot wow. Great video. thanks for uploading.
Frame rate capture of camera is different than display refresh rate. Some video frames then don't match and are seen as flickering. No flickering in the cockpit :)
@mikalization There are lifting gates when going from flight idle to ground idle but nothing from ground idle to reverse (only slightly harder power level movement, but no gate).
When you are putting saabs in reverse, do the throttles have lever on them you have to press to let them pass through idle to reverse are do they just continue back? and nice video
As a mechanic on the saab, all you do is push the engine throttle full down. Some are harder to push down than others do to coffee, food and other crap that gets caked on the arm roller assembly below.
This is the sound of propeller blades going into fine pitch. On ground, propeller RPM are kept constant just above 1000 and power/thrust is controlled via changing pitch and fuel flow (with power levers).
When turning off Avionics L/R, does the FMS also get turned off? And if yes, is it able to retain perf/fpln data or do you wait until after engine start to put that in?
I have two question please! 1.) How to you decide CTOT - lowest to heighest (108)? 2) When you disengage AP on final approach,YD also gets OFF. Don't you need the YD on final to compsensate for cross-wind alignment? THANKS!!
Hi simhoper, ctot power is calculated for minimum allowed setting for given conditions to reduce turbine ITT temperatures. Full power is seldomly used unless at max takeoff mass and runway is contaminated. YD is only needed for coordinated turns, crosswind landings are always flown with ap/yd off anyway (latest height for disconnecting both is 50ft agl). You're welcome :)
@@vanair1488 Thank you very much!. So in a typical takeoff you select 110? What is the maximum Throttle angle which won't over TQ the engine?. I am building a sim for the 340. But in my country there is no Aaabs. But I admire the capability of this machine. Currently I am collecting the computer cards, visual system and other hardware. It's going to be a semi-enclosed sim. Thanks for your info.
This flashing is only seen on video, because refresh rates of screens and camera are different. Instruments have steady picture, unless we break them :)
Haha, I aaaaalmost miss flying that little fucker when watching your video. Very nice! Tho for some reason the cockpit seem so small compared to what i remember. :D
It does have some CRT displays, and they are original. This plane is still modern. Ask a friend of mine who once was an instructor on it. Many people think propeller equals old. AFAIK the Dash-8 is the same age group, or the ATR42.
Just from the point of view of navigation there no way to fly waypoints like a basic gps.everything is VORs etc.But don't get me wrong i love this aircraft.
flyxplane1 Some Saabs, like the ones I flew, do have GPS units. One or two around have very old FMS units. They're expensive so some companies opt to go without them.
This is the best video of showing the real flying of a 340! thanks for the video!
I have almost 3000 in the Saab 340B +. I miss it. The sounds they make!
My dream has been answered. I've been looking for a clear full video clip of 340 in clear picture! Great job!!
Great video. I'm a FO on a Beech 1900 and will be transitioning to the Saab 340 by the end of the summer. These turboprops are fun to fly.
Awesome! Thanks mate. These fly over my house every day (in Nth QLD Australia) and I've always wanted to see one on the inside. Hopefully will be flying them in a few years :)
Awesome! The Saab's 340 flightdeck looks sweet! Look like a 737 panel almost!
Great to be able to watch real pilots doing their job and also how casual they seem to be after engaging the AP. Although a lot of a pilots duty is so repetitive, just so long as they remain alert at all times.
Sure wish i was a real pilot wow.
Great video. thanks for uploading.
Thank For The Great Video Vanair1488. I'm going to use this vid as a refrence for
starting up my flight sim planes :) COOL!!
AMAZING video I wish there was more of the full flight from the flight deck like this

No flickering in the cockpit :)
I love the sound of a Saab 340 starting up cold.
@mikalization
There are lifting gates when going from flight idle to ground idle but nothing from ground idle to reverse (only slightly harder power level movement, but no gate).
When you are putting saabs in reverse, do the throttles have lever on them you have to press to let them pass through idle to reverse are do they just continue back? and nice video
Its a Saab 340A as well. Awesome!
I like Saab 340 ;-)
very nice video
5* keep it up ;)
As a mechanic on the saab, all you do is push the engine throttle full down. Some are harder to push down than others do to coffee, food and other crap that gets caked on the arm roller assembly below.
Do you know what I can't believe? The fact that I have not seen this video yet. Incredible! Where were you taking off from?
Excellent video guys. Are you still in operation with a Saab from LJU? Say hello to mr commendante for me will you Vanair? Regards/ Samuel
This is the sound of propeller blades going into fine pitch. On ground, propeller RPM are kept constant just above 1000 and power/thrust is controlled via changing pitch and fuel flow (with power levers).
To protect the electronic components when starting the engines as the engines are started by electrical starter-generators.
When turning off Avionics L/R, does the FMS also get turned off? And if yes, is it able to retain perf/fpln data or do you wait until after engine start to put that in?
@brighdt01 i want to know which is the first mission of fs2004. pls reply.....:)

Great video!!!
Haha ok you got me on that one. I miss some of the things about the saab lol
great video! thanks
Awesome video! Why did they shut off the avionics before engine start?
Ahha! thanks, cockpit looks like avro- series! :)
What airline and where to from where
What causes that sound at 11:48? Just the reduction in power?
@vanair1488 thanks alot

very nice vid
Why is the instruments flashing?
You miss troubleshooting the engine intake antiice? :)
@motel29
when did you hear that in the video? :) maybe it's something with doing 4 hours daily on this rotation.
This SAAB, born from propjets!
needs to do more planes video please
it looks small only cause I'm big :) what do you fly now?
If you haven't flown in a propjet, you haven't flown yet!
Whitch cargo airlines is this
Oh how I miss working on the saab
What airline is this
Haha, I aaaaalmost miss flying that little fucker when watching your video. Very nice! Tho for some reason the cockpit seem so small compared to what i remember. :D
Did the CPT say that the FO had 4 hours more flying time? Was that a question? Are you kidding me?
My favourite modern airliner. Once rented one just for the heck of it for a 80-min flight.
Surely it's hardly a modern airliner more old school i would have thought.

what variant?
@zonky91 local cargo company, operating for UPS and TNT
Does pulling the throttles back put the prop in Beta?
That's correct, but only below flight idle (prohibited in flight).
so good
i can't wait to become a pilot :), this is my passion
Hey I have a Saab! A Saab 9-3 Convertible, haha :)
Might be it, Im not sure..hehe.
At the moment i`m flying the 744.. :)
local cargo airline, from LJLJ to LYBE
ótimo vídeo meus parabéns
@Boeing757200A

Obviously a flight check with company flight standards...
Buenisssimo!!!!
This is a Saab 340A.
