Beautiful piece of machinery. The concorde of turboprops.

@ExecutionerThe Its called a backtrack.

omg seen this plane today at cardiff intl. wondered why there is a footballer on the side :)
-
@ExecutionerThe It's known as a "back-taxi".
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.

@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.

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.

@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.
Did he just taxi up the runway ?

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