UBZ ! I flew that about 20 years ago.

🤗👍🏻

Nice video thank you. Are the 401, 402 (A-C) the same start procedure?

Great video

Of course it's filthy, it's UBZ ! I was looking at this and thought it reminded me of that aircraft; in the other video ... there was the callsign 😱 I flew that 2005-6 in Darwin. It used to be owned by MAF in Arnhemland for their RPT prior to 2005, and it flew there for years. I think they cleaned it once. We got it after they sold it and it was the only aircraft ever where I've washed my hands when I climbed out of it, and I then spent about 4 hours cleaning it, and it wasn't too bad. This video was taken in 2011, 6 years later. The thing had returned to it's prior state so I guess it's just a dirt magnet. I wonder where it is now.

Thanks Luke Towan

Nice, thanks!

Damn, I can’t remember doing all other things except starting the engines and pushing the throttle to get it to move on the way to runway then to take off! I did that in a Cessna 401A as a 13 years old waaaay back in 1975 under supervision of my dads good friend Paul. It was waaaaay long time ago. I did a take off and landed the 401A which is similar to 402C on my own with Paul watching me on co pilot seat at a Kenosha Airport only a one way around trip. Thanks for the showing it on video. It brings me memories.

Cessna 402C mechanic here. Good showing on how to start it up! I don't use quite as much primer as you did here. (I cut it off around 70-80). But it worked perfectly fine, didn't hear any afterfiring. So all is well!

Why does it take so long for the oil pressure to rise after start? The oil temp is understandable, but I would think you should get near immediate oil pressure increase.

Amazing sound!

that is definetly the filthiest plane i’ve ever seen

Muy buenos. Estoy buscando procedimiento de ground evacuation 402 que me faciliten por fa

Why is the cabin so grungy? Looks awful.

Those props definitely need better syncing. I can hear it in thie video. Lol

Thanks for the Video. It sure brings good memories of a Cessna 402B that I flew years ago.

That plane is parked on the beach?

Damn, that plane is in rough shape

nice job. easy to follow and well organized

Next video is how to fly a Cessna 402 .... JK hope not!

I've flown some sketchy birds but that cockpit looked rough.I hope the rest of it was in better shape.

Poor old Cessna, need some maintenance attention. Nice video, thanks !

Nice vid! I hope the systems were in better condition than the paint, phew...

Ese 402 esta cansado....

en donde es la pista y felicitaciones muy buena aproximacion y excelente aterrizaje.

lastima que no hablen en español.

Nice video, are you going to make a video about other systems? Pressurization? Fuel system? what about leaning for cruise?

Check audio levels

Great video with the wing tip vortices at the end :)

80's Twins... so beauties...

i grew up in 402 and 421 flying with my old man. only different thing he did was throttles were full open and reduced as the engine came to life . his reason is smoother quicker start and the other throttle is out of the way

my good, why does it take so long for the oil pressure to come up .. they run for erver without proper lubrication

awesome video

Nice man!!! I got and 402 and thas is a Great Landing!!

@ilikewendysthebest Well at least it was a really good landing.

congratilations from argentina.

@elpaiche Gracias, espero hacer más en el futuro. Estoy feliz de que te haya gustado.

esta muy instructivo, los felicito a los productores. saludos.

amazing landing, nice video!

Nice landing, and it´s good to hear the sound of the engines...

@quiteactually The chief engineer of one company I flew for also instructed us to start the engines with the alternators off. His reason was that the battery was the cheapest part of the starter system so it was better to start the engines with the alternators off rather than risk damaging them during the start.

@cessna207 The battery in a C402 is in the left wing root. Therefore, it is a shorter run for the electrical lead from the battery to the left engine and there is less resistance.

Well done video! Very clear instruction.

@quiteactually, I'm also curious as to why some engine types are started with alternators off as opposed to on? Even though the POH for the 402 says to have them on for engine start, our engineers always instructed pilots to start with the alternators off and turn them on after start. I always assumed it was to avoid overloading the alternator as the second engine was started, as a precaution.

The alternators remain on for normal battery start, however are turned off when started with external power. The POH has you starting the left engine first since it's closer to the battery, however in many cases the battery is moved to the nose for CG purposes.

Your videos are Great! please make more! I really like the how to stuff. Thanks

Hey guy's, sorry I have not had a chance to make more video's yet, I've moved on from my 402 job. I'm flying for a regional airline in Aus, its been flat out. When I get a chance I'll try make some more tech videos on the dash 8-400, The company has a policy of no cameras during flight in the flight deck but I'll see what i can come up with. Shouldn't take to long to get some videos happening. Thanks for being patient

Great editing and voice over. I know more than one future freight dog will value this video. I widh this video exsited when I was getting checked out in the twin Cessna's.

Buena edicion del video...

Nice one!
