Cockpit scenes from the Dash 8 -100 landing in Røst, the outernmost island of the Lofoten archipelago. The approach and landing was hand flown by the captain himself, in beautiful weather!
After watching a view of these Dash 8 videos and wondering why the pilot monitoring has to guard the power levers on short final, I think I've figured out why. It's because of the design of the reverse thrust activation. Rather than a distinct lever like on a 747 for example, the pilot on a Dash 8 simply pulls the power lever back past idle. The pilot monitoring has to guard them on approach so that the pilot flying doesn't accidentally engage the reverse thrust while the plane is still airborne. Am I right? Can anyone confirm?
