Filmed just behind runway 32 of aiport Bern-Belp (LSZB) with a Nikon D3100. So close that you can see in the eyes of the pilots. :)

  • 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 work on these! such great aircrafts :D 

  • 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.
