TRIPREPORT | Air Seychelles (ECONOMY) | Mahé - Praslin Island | Viking Air DHC-6 Twin Otter

[@richardnei]

Brilliant Flight Report! These short hop flights can be a lot more interesting than a long haul flight on a major airline. I love these unique flights and that’s why we love your channel so much. Keep the good work guys! ✈️

[@faiyathefirebnuy170]

I never seen a safety video in airport that is really interesting.

[@liveandletlive7152]

The video is played before you board. I stay in Seychelles 😉

[@LimChingLiang]

5:11 should be brake test. Since Praslin only had short runway.

[@kurtsvensson4362]

It doesn’t have a short runway though?

[@LimChingLiang]

@@kurtsvensson4362 Praslin airport only had 1405m runway. This twin otter doest not had any trust reverser plus 1405m runway are not enough to stop this aircraft by changing pitch of propeller. Brake are most essential part of this aircraft during landing at Praslin airport. Before takeoff, pilot had to make sure brake are working.

[@kurtsvensson4362]

@@LimChingLiang The twin otter does have thrust reversers. It can land on 300m airstrip without issues. 1400m is plenty for a twin otter. Not a short runway....

Wow, you got a really nice engine view, Mahé is really beautiful with its sea, islands and sunset. You're super lucky to fly on such a rare plane and rare airline. I love the sound of those engines and the see-through cockpit. Thanks for sharing this amazing trip report.

[@thomasisland1]

There's so many good places to meet people in the world and Praslin is no exception. 20 minutes is pretty fast and this trip is worth a try :D. You went in brief details about the whole trip. I like it very much. It's sincerely succinct.

[@LeanderTravels]

Wow, that sunset looks stunning! ✈️

[@TheKamzok]

That intro tho! Fine job.

[@ericbueneman1979]

When I was growing up near Saint Louis-Lambert International Airport, Air Illinois flew the Twin Otters to smaller communities in the Land of Lincoln and the Show-Me State. The original Frontier Airlines also flew Twin Otters from Denver to smaller communities in Colorado and Nebraska.

[@ireumiobseum]

The 'thing' that happened during takeoff was most probably a run-up. It is commonly done for prop engines prior to takeoff though not every takeoff. Usually it is done if it's the first flight of the day. Some do it at the holding point with brakes on before entering the runway, depending on airline procedures.

[@2ndLakeProductions]

[@gpierre90]

Hey great video covering my country's national airline, be it the domestic route, yeah it is a short trip, Judging by the video it seems it was a while ago, Do hope you enjoyed your trip. The part when the plane went full throttle then they idled, probably an engine throttle check or a mistake by the pilot, normally they stop on the runway, power up with the brakes on i think then quickly release and the plane accelerates and takes off. Maybe a Twin otter pilot can correct me.

[@unchisa_jantharinthufon9097]
