Why Pilots HATE To Fly The DHC-8 q400

[@Badger1-1]

As a Q400 Pilot I can ensure you, we love flying this thing, we hate it, but we love it ;) and it flys really well, the systems and the way they are put into the plane are more the issue here ;) And if you do it right, it lands pretty neat

[@crazyjhey8050]

Never worked on these but did lotta work on crj 200, 700, and 900. Its pretty much an crj but with turbo props. Crj is a well built very safe aircraft but require hell of lot maintenance lotta things break constantly. I used to work for a regional carrier now I work for a major and was surprised to find how little maintenance large aircraft require. Not talking about scheduled maintenance im talking about system and structural failures. Most the unscheduled maintenance i do these days is broken junk in the cabin, seats, overhead bins, clogged sinks, ext.

I was a real life captain on the Q400 and it was probably my favourite airplane that I ever flew. Very fast for a turboprop and amazing landing performance. Taking this from YUL to YTZ was awesome on those flap 35 landings. It is true that it is a hard plane to land smoothly that's for sure, that's why the nickname it the crash 8. My trick for landing smoothly was to come in 10 knots above ref (which is the recommended technique) and adding a bit of power in the flare. If you're in a situation where you can't come in above ref speed (short runway or something like that) then it's pretty hard to land smoothly. Still, was an awesome plane! Jets are overrated, I don't know why but I'm a turboprop lover! Twin otter is probably my all time favourite plane ever! but the q400 is a beast of a turboprop :) also I can't remember but I think the tail strike attitude on landing is like 8 degrees, so if you're screwing up your landing, don't pull up! add power!

[@gmupps]

Living under the approach and about 5 km from the threshold of rwy 16 at YCD I love the constant parade of both WJ Q400 and the Jazz 200/300 over my head every day. No joke about those Q's hauling ass, either. They push you back in the seat pretty hard on takeoff...

I flew on a Dash-8 with air inuit. The whole thing was vibrating like it was about to tear itself apart and the noise was quite something when both props resonate together. Interesting experience and very capable planes perfect for the north but jets are way more comfortable :P I don't remember the landing being rough so the pilot did a great job. They actually go up and down Quebec's west coast stopping at various inuit villages like a bus so they get tons of landing practice everyday.

As an actual Q400 First Officer I have to say it is not as bad as you describe it. Landings are a challenge , but the key is power. Do not cut the power until main gear ground contact.

The idea of having a pilot test an unfamiliar aircraft is thrilling and dangerous. In civil aviation, this is considered unsafe. However, using a simulator allows for entertaining and unconventional scenarios. This can be further amplified with unscripted audio content and editing techniques.

When the nose gear doesn't come down ... Its a mechanics/maintenance problem.... there is a bolt that has to be installed in SPECIFIC DIRECTION not easiest to do and mechanics in the field didn't read the maintenance manual... installing the bolt in reverse direction.... The nose gear it self is extended by gravity... i.e. the up lock is released and gear free falls in the down lock position.... by installing the bolt in the wrong direction it snags on the surrounding structure preventing the gear from extending..... (First incident Japans ANA Q400..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHm7oYlqq79_hbc ) As for pilots hating the plane.... well I haven't met one who did.....

[@michaela.660]

The flight program mimics the wing, the wing is a fast wing(low drag) with high aspect ratio high loading and laminar air flow. The bottom line is you fly the wing at high speed to the runway level it and cut the power. There is little or no flaring to stall the wing, it just settles with the nose 3-7 degrees high on to the mains when it gets ready to do it. Hence the name land-o-matic.

@@GH-oi2jf I learned that since making this comment, I was actually really saddened by it. I only got to fly on a Horizon Q400 once before they switched to only Embraers, it was loud yeah but man what a smooth flight. I think regional Air Canada flights still use them a lot tho

[@g4l4x83]

Here in Aus all I see are Q400’s... someone pls give me an ATR 72 at least ;-;

[@carlramirez6339]

Virgin Australia flies ATR-72s

@@carlramirez6339 It does not like solvency, sir. Even if the American bought it.

Swiss: upload video at 8am in the morning Me: I was so lucky I live in the Philippines

[@DogeAVIATION-]

Swiss 001 should do a review about the 1900D

[@evanrayyan8405]

Swiss:says q400 plane name is too long Also Swiss: doesn't even say the whole name A WHOLE NEW SWISS

[@ejcamacho_HI]

I have a feeling AirBerlin always chooses the worst planes lmao

[@kimnguyen1970]

AirBerlin is a dead airline, so it doesn’t matter.

When we search Swiss001 on google, it comes 'music artist'

I used to fly Dash 8 Q200 and Q300s. They handle really well. Landing is not difficult but you have to be careful because the Q300 and Q400 has a very little tail clearance. You should try to keep the pitch below 5 degrees in the flare. Above it and you are risking the tail. So, we flare very little on landing making the landings firmer.

Actually the last fatal crash was in 2018 in kathmandu . when us bangla airlines crashed. Only two people survived

Swiss001: flies a Cirrus once “The Q400 is bad to land” Hope to God he’s never in control of anything I’m onboard

[@augustkoningen9970]

Day 18 of asking swiss to use more the DC-10 and the MD-11 in his videos.

[@reecetbobby5347]

For whatever weird reason I enjoy flying on the Q400s. I'm always impressed at how quickly they can accelerate and become airborne. I've often booked flight times in the past that allowed me to fly on one of these as opposed to a 737.

[@drewdrewman28]

Agree. Don't like flying but love planes. I actually enjoy the dash 8, over the North Sea you to Norway you can see the oil rigs below which is cool!

[@maximeb5201]

The DHC-8 Q400 will not be anymore a bombardier plane, it has been sell to Longview Aviation Capital Corps. The Quebec has lost another emblematic plane.
