[Flyin Tony]

Do the trash 8's go any faster then a 172? :beer:

Son, when you get paid by the minute, that's the way you want it...nice and slow.

 

[epic!]

depends if there's a tail wind

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

They do unless the 172 has JATO pods attached.

...I'd kinda like to see that!

Slightly. The Dash is a real pilots airplane. It can and will do anything you ask of it, except go fast.

If your talking about the Dash 8 Q400 then yea it goes ***** way faster then a 172!

 

[katanabob]

If your taking about the Dash 8 Q400 then yea it goes fukin way faster then a 172!

I'd sure love to fly a 365 knot 172.

The real question is:

Can a 172 go slower than a Dash?

 

[epic!]

stopping giving them ideas...before long all the gas guzzling rj's will be gone only to be replaced by a massive fleet of aging 172's

Ask Piedmont: "Great Idea, we'll check into it"

 

[Trogdor]

"Slow to 140, your following a Dash-8 on a 10 mile final."

 

[ReverseSensing]

"Slow to 140, your following a Dash-8 on a 10 mile final."

"Horizon 422, you've got a 70-knot overtake on the 737 four miles ahead."

 

[RobCat]

Yeah I know. I Find it odd that a plane can fly the approach faster than it can cruise.

Piedmont your overtaking that RJ by 80 Knots!!!

 

[OPECJet]

Yeah I know. I Find it odd that a plane can fly the approach faster than it can cruise.

Only when I was flying it.

The screen on the tailcone (100-300 mods) is to protect from Canada Geese birdstrikes from behind.

That was classic!

 

[Hikoushi]

Always fun to throw a change-up at the guy riding your ass on arrival if you are really light. 230-240 knots in a slight descent until 3 or 4 miles out, then level off at 1000 or so, flight idle, dirty up, slow to 82 knots Vref flaps 35. Can't do that in an RJ.

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

The Dash 8 makes crummy controllers look like plane pushing gods:

"Piedmont, minimum forward speed..."

(30 seconds later)

"Piedmont max forward speed, direct to the numbers!"

 

[CopilotDoug]

The Dash is a real pilots airplane.

Yet everyone one else is saying it's a transexual's airplane...
