Amazing take off from Tioman Island, one of the dangerous airport in Malaysia

[@Repented008]

The hallmark of all Dashes are those beautifully massive flaps. They make her soar so effortlessly in the air. Spectacular.

Helped set up this dash operation 1994/95 seconded from Mark Air UK the 2 dash serial no 112 and113 last a/c built. Great time.

Before landing the plane is pointing directly at mountains and the pilot needs to do a ninety degree turn to come in line with the air strip. The cherry on top is that the run way has a mountain at its end. So once again, the pilot cannot possibly take it short or deep, instead the plane has to hit the dot on the first attempt.

We land here all the time in a sr22 and thats tricky enough let alone this plane

When PWA had several Dash 7's operating out of YXD in downtown Edmonton, they used to go right past my kitchen window most days.

[@TufanSevincel]

yes the location of the runway is very narrow and the mountain around are great threat to approach..

[@arthurteo8111]

I was there man. It didn't feel as scary as it looks. The pilots were amazing.

[@FliVids]

What a beautiful thumbnail

[@totoplanes497]

Lovely! I joined your channel!

[@redbug3485]

Cool video! Go Air Force!

[@Decimal86Mach]

Did you record this yourself ? Nice vid btw. I got the landing video with cessna 208 if you like to see on my youtube.

[@chuckeberth4370]

Nice to see successful take offs.

[@ivannnnnmmmm]

In a game called Infinite Flight i flew from Malacca to Pulau Timon in an 737 china airlines and i couldnt even land because it was so steep!

[@andypreston1524]

Long take off for a 7.............

[@arnoldanderson1501]

Great video shot, but you might want to position yourself slightly off to the side, so the camera is steady. You will still get the action and better sound quality without the video camera vibrations. Just mho. I enjoyed this video otherwise.

Nice! Subscribed

[@MrAcc45]

No margin for error. Straight ahead is a mountain!

[@waynep343]

Almost like taking off at burbank airport on runway 15. Get it off the ground. Get the nose way up. Start your turn hard right to miss the 20 story ESPN Sports building directly in line with the runway. Take it out quietly over the multi million dollar home of encino.

[@solomonkaihe]

Looks like a q Dash with 4 props, I like it

[@Kronix86]

Do you mean the dash-8 q400? This one came before the dash 8 series so it does make sense there would be similarities imo

[@mic7504]

The De Havilland Canada (DHC) - (dash) Seven design came about based on a major American study suggesting very short runways close to large and small urban centers would be the future of American air travel expansion. The Short Take-Off & Land (STOL) capable Dash7 had it's design roots in the De Havilland - 5 Buffalo and - 4 Caribou. Both were STOL military transports designed to fill a missing niche that became apparent during mountainous fighting of the Korean War. The DHC - 6 Twin Otter on the other hand was an extension of the DHC - 3 Otter STOL-like rugged bush plane line. When the predicted very short runway scheme of American airport expansion was not adopted and the operators of the DASH 7 complained of high maintenance cost because of the four engine design, De Havilland moved away from STOL aircraft design. The two engine Dash 8 was the first non-STOL or rugged bush design by De Havilland Canada.

Why lining up with the airbrakes extended ? 🤔

[@bahasajawi]

selamat datang ke pulau tioman pahang darul makmur malaysia mantopgun

[@lele_oliveiraa]

No fight...it can be understood...

[@MrSuperstevie]

Dangerous? Having been trained to fly there I realise it needs concentration & why certification is required but why dangerous? Berjaya have been flying dash 7s there for years without incident & it remains a popular destination for johor/malacca/kl/sg based pilots.

[@PILOTCIRRUSASIA]

I have endorsement also to land here .. and it is dangerous with changing wind conditions and no go around below 200ft makes it dangerous

[@Peeter8]

Imagine standing behind the an-22 or tu-95.

[@Workerbee-zy5nx]

Baby c130.

[@ch64621]

I do hope De Havilland Canada can come up with a twin turbo prop aircraft that could meet the Dash 7s STOL capabilities

[@mic7504]

Do you mean the DHC- Buffalo?

[@liamsmith4566]

Think he means a passinger plane, or you are right, I like to see a new beaver verson my self

[@Robster4404]

This doesn't look dangerous at all, what's he talking about? That Dash 7 could have been up much sooner with an immediate right turn!

[@archimedesfromteamfortress2]

The mountains surrounding the airport is the threat.

[@koengroeneveld]

"one of the MOST dangerous AIRPORTS in Malaysia" So plus "most" and airport = airports....

[@MalaysianAviator737-8]

Is berjaya still operating to this day?

[@PILOTCIRRUSASIA]

No flights into here apart from GA we come here a lot for lunch from Singapore in Sr22's

[@stevezr1059]

Please explain why this airport in particular is one of the most dangerous airports ? Because of the small terrain around the field ? Anyone know why ?

[@PILOTCIRRUSASIA]

theres no going around below 200ft so you need to get it right and once below 200ft the wind can change significantly

[@stamps4048]

Lolololol
