[HD] Dash-8 preparation & Departure 

to see dash 8's or any turbo prop get push back is a rare sight to me on my Caribbean island :)

I love these old birds. Surely gonna miss them after they're all gone, even if the much larger Q400 sticks around for a while longer.

Lovely old 100 withe the nose mounted taxi light.

WOW great video! I think turboprop engines are amazing due to their high bypass ratio compared to other engines. this gives it a much better fuel economy although its not very well suited for long distance flights and the altitude is limited on them also, but still they are a very fine piece of engineering.

It's sad for you, my friend. The Dash-8 makes an AWESOME sound (which is music to my ears) when you're aside them :)

Love them dash 8s prince of the sky

Lovely engine roar

super cool video

Great vid dude.

Great footage of such a nice plane ;)

Nice Video !

I'm a big fan of turboprop airliners. People who are not observant are fooled into thinking that the turboprop engine is a turbocharged piston driven propeller engine, rather than a jet propeller engine. Observant people like myself can listen to the engine as it fires up, and tell it's a jet engine with a propeller attatched by the jet whine that's heard when the propeller starts to rotate. They generally fire up the starboard engine first, and then the port engine. They let the engines run in low idle for a minute or two, and when they go into high idle, the "box fan" sound is added to the whine of the jet engines. In takeoff, when the props are rotated at their maximum RPM, they make the "bumblebee" sound, creating the bass hum and vibration heard inside the cabin. That's what leads people to believe that it's a piston driven propeller engine. I personally like the sound that the props make. Like some say that driving a vehicle with a manual transmission is real driving, I say that flying in a propeller driven airliner is "Real Flying"! I wish that airliners such as the Boeing 737, and the Airbus A-320, used for most domestic flights, like from Charlotte NC to New York LaGuardia, were turboprop instead of fan jet. It's my understanding that turboprop engines are so much more fuel efficient, that a Boeing 737, with four turboprops would use 40 percent less jet fuel, than with the two fan jet engines. It would save a lot of jet fuel, but it would also make flying more enjoyable and exhilarating. To remind the public that a turboprop engine is a jet propeller engine, they should paint in big letters on the sides of the engine cowels, "PROP JET".

@mcphatstudios I'm glad you enjoyed it!!! Thank you very much!!! :)

Great video and quality! doing my commercial training in 2 months :)

dash 8's i love them island greetings :)

Thanks!!! No, the jetway doesn't extend to the Dash-8 door. There is a door to the terminal next to the Dash-8. What they do is strapping the props to make sure nobody get hurt and then they open the door. Security is watching the ops to make sure that everybody goes to the terminal or to the Dash-8, depending on the situation.

Sweet!

Beautiful video. I love how you can literally see number 1 unfeathering as they increase the RPM to taxi using the power from that side only. Well done!

thank You so much.

Thanks/ Beautiful video!

Thank you for commenting!!! :) I do personnally prefer the Air Canada Express.

you're right, but can be also a q200, the difference between the 100 and 200 is just the engine, the 200 has stronger ones.

Beautiful video! Loved it! I thumbs up'd and subscribed :)

@TheDonny2014 Thank you very much!!! :)

interesting video

Thank you very much!!!! :)

You can't be wrong with old sounds of any aircraft! Hahaha Just think about the MD80 vs the MD90 ;)

I didnt realise those aircraft types required a pushback, cause Ive never seen the Qantaslink Dash 8s in Australia use a pushback on those aircraft. Only the jet aircraft here use pushback that are parked at aerobridge gates.

I'm working on Dash 8 Q400 which is way bigger, and i would say they're really safe to flight.

Is that a Q300? Awesome video. I hope to someday fly one of these.

i know :) i find the older Q300 and 200 make a differrent noise to the new Q400 on max and throttling up, but the feather sounds the same, maybe its because its has 6 blades and its a new engine :) but i like the old sound better

Thank you!!! :)

I used a 70-150mm lens @ f3.8 Thank you so much for commenting!!!! :)

At 5:42, is it just an optical illusion or are there two wolves running across the runway behind the plane?

Thanks!!! :)

Is it just me or do the older dash 8s sound better then the Q400

@ivanisfad Thank you very much for your commenting & watching!!! :)

I'll try to get to the airport when a Q400 will arrive to hear the difference. I'll take a flight anyway this week-end so it's not going to be so hard. Maybe I'll record it. :)

@fspilot221 Nice plane definitively. Thanks alot!!! :)

Great video . I have not found any video of the old logo Air Nova if anyone knows could you let me know . I

Sorry, ipad finger slip. As for taxiing with 1 in feather we do that to save on fuel. It lowers the fuel burn by about 100 pounds an hour for the taxi. Over the course of a year and the entire fleet it adds up.

What is the safety record of the Dash-8 series? I never hear of any accidents,seems like a very safe plane.

what type of lens did you use?

I’ve got a few hours on that tail number

esse motor( turbo hélice), é o mesmo do ATR 72??????

It's a DHC8-100. Not a Q, these are the older ones and do not have any active noise suppression.

Starts taxiing with one prop still feathered?

I don't know why they do it this way, but it's the third time I see a Dash-8 like this needing pushback.

As for taxiing with a

:)

Sorry to correct but this is a dash 8-100

Yeah well its very un likely to crash because the only ever fly for about an hour

Thanks!!! :)
