I have logged so many hours in the is model that I should have bought stock in the company. The little regional airports near my home are lousy with these things. Rugged, reliable and strong. There have been several times where I was the only passenger, the morning red-eye. Back then, the crew would leave the door open so I could hang out and watch. Miss those days! A little noisy and the seats suck, but it kind of grows on you.
@ExecutionerThe The procedure is called a backtaxi.It's not done very often at large airports although it can be if given permission by air traffic control.
When there's no parallel taxiway available or... a taxiway doesn't extend to end of a runway where we'll need to use the entire length of a runway for take-off, we'll "back-taxi".
There are other circumstances where we'll do this but, the above is most common.
@Dc9fan I can't say for certain because I'm not a Dash-8 pilot, but perhaps it's a safety thing, with the big turboprops pushing a lot of air over the high lift straight wings already, a big gust of wind might try to pick up one of the wings.
@redcarsarasota now that you mention that about the props blowing air over the wings. I must think that a small percentage of lift (of course not enough to fly) would be produced in that way. and that the exhaust from the turboprop would produce a little bit of thrust. (It must not be much because they made the engine to extract as much power from the jet as possible, and one time while watching one operate I could see the exhaust literally spilling over the nozzle)
@redcarsarasota Very little thrust comes from the exhaust. A decent amount does come from the props over the wing, but once you have airspeed, then it becomes negligible.
Many single engine T-tail planes have that configuration to raise up the horizontal stabilizer out of the prop wash (air too turbulent).
@Dc9fan It is an automatic feature that retracts upon increasing power. The aircraft assumes that if power is low, you are trying to stop. The 8 or 4 spoilers activate in ground mode to ruin lift, so as to improve braking ability.
The spoilers are mostly not used for roll, but just braking on the Dash.
Bombardier plans to produce this aircraft for years to come. Many airlines are realising the benefits of the Q400 over regional jets. I don't know why you think it won't last. It's got a long life ahead of it
@kramnodd9 i not talking about the production run of the aircraft bud, ive had the opprotunity to fly them and see how they are built the old dash is FAR FAR FAR more rugged than this
My point is, all modern aircraft are lighter nowadays. Just because they aren't as rugged, doesn't mean they're any less durable. It will last just as well as any turboprop before it.
Ich benutze eine Nikon D3100 mit dem Objektiv 70-300mm. Ja stimmt. Ist ein schöner Effekt. Kommt natürlich drauf an was eingestellt war. Ich war in diesem Fall im Auto-Modus und weil das Licht nicht gerade perfekt war, stellte die Kamera wahrscheinlich eine längere Belichtungszeit ein. So kam dieser Rolling Shutter Effekt hervor. Denke ich mal.. :)
Beautiful piece of machinery. The concorde of turboprops.

Did he just taxi up the runway ?

yes he did. that airport is so small that there isnt an extra line for taxi.

Why do some Dash-8 pilots have spoilers up until they takeoff?

They've already lasted this long. No reliability problems (besides some landing gear issues) have cropped up so far.
