Takeoff with a Dash 8-103 from Tromsø Airport in a stunning nice weather with an amazing scenery! This is recorded from the Jumpseat :) Sorry for the bad sound quality, but this is recorded on a Sony Xperia S :)
All of the Bombardier Dash 8s are great to travel in and sound amazing. however I don't really like the Q400 just doesn't look right. what a beautiful video subscribed
Yes it is totally normal to use flaps 5 or 15 on the Dash 8-100 :) Normal procedure is flaps up at 400feet on Widerøe planes, even it is a Dash 8-Q400 or a Q300 or a 100/200 :) This is to get lower takeoffspeeds upon departure in this case or weight was 32.000 pounds/14515kg and or speed where VR at 92 knots and V2 at 100 knots with flaps 5, and VR at 79 knots and V2 at 91 knots with flaps 15, so therefore, we did have a long runway so we didn`t need Flaps 15 for takeoff this time. At the other Video there we takeoff from Hammerfest we did use Flaps 15 for takeoff since we where heavy loaded and just 800 meters runway :) It is worth the look :) Hope this helped you :)
This helped immensely. I have my commercial, multi and instrument however still attend a part 141 school so I have literally 0 experience in any large aircraft and in our sim we have never used flaps before. Also, in the seminole we use for multi training, even short field departures do not require the use of flaps so it just had me wondering. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Yes. All the tables require flaps for take-off. The flap settings must be retained until the top of second segment which is 400'AAE. In the event of an engine failure at V1 (which is always = to Vr for the Dash100-300); one climbs at V2 to 400' and then accelerates, level (third segment), to Vfri before continuing the climb (fourth segment). Some airports are obstacle impaired that require a second segment climb to a higher altitude. I've been to 3600' AAE on a second segment climb.
Pilot flying advances the 'power levers" and the Pilot Not Flying trims the power levers to be under 90% Torque. The proper calls would be 'Power Set' from the PNF 70kts and then Rotate. The Pilot flying would then put two hands on the yoke. In our company it's at Power Set.
