Followed a Horizon Dash 8-400 a few days ago. I was very impressed with it - I could not believe how LONG it is... It also seemed very fast - nice props. A few questions for Dash 8-400 drivers (Horizon pilots or European pilots - I think SAS commuter and others):

1. How do you like flying the Dash 8-400 vs. your previous aircraft? What are the best and worst aspects of flying the aircraft in your opinion?

2. For those Horizon pilots who are flying the Dash 8-400 who also flew the D328TP while Horizon had it, which aircraft do you prefer and why?

3. It looked like a great airplane from the outside. I have been told that the EFIS system is pretty advanced too. Was it difficult to train on the Dash 8-400 (pretty sophisticated)?


Thanks for the info. Looks like a great aircraft to fly!!!!!! I'd love to join you on a flight into Sun Valley anytime.


Cheers
