Just like a 150...

I'm not saying the airplane or the crew can't handle it, but we are in the passenger comfort business. So while fun for the crew, it can't be very comforting to the average passenger.

I agree too.

I was on an MD-88 that started to do S-turns on final and it freaked out a bunch of passengers. One lady even screamed out loud.

We have plenty of passengers on our flights that are afraid to fly, so go have fun on your days off with airplanes.

The CRJ is proof that the airline industry does not care about passenger comfort.

After 3+ hours in one from San Antonio to LA, I couldn't agree more. Ugh.

Suppose after the successful slip you lose nosewheel steering (completely unrelated) and go off the runway and the FDR is pulled. How many "Humenna Humenna's" will you get out during the interrogation that follows? Will your union even return your calls or are you going to call up Yeager and see if he'll go to bat for you?

That would suck but hopefully someone who can slip a Dash 8 safely also can operate it safely with the nosewheel steering inop.

Forward slip? So, what exactly is the difference between a forward slip and a slip of the side variety? Is there a backward slip? Quartering slip? Upward slip?

Sorry, its a pet peeve.

Here is an XJET instructor describing glidepath adjustment technique; I think it may be helpful.

That really bothers you?!?! Sorry to hear that. I suggest you call the FAA and see what you can do to get the term changed.

Please let us know if you have any other private pilot questions.

One is an accepted technique for crosswind landings and the other is what Dash-8 pilots who think they are really cool do.

Along worth ORD terminal F and IAD terminal A.

The screams are part of the fun. .

In Barry Schiff's video, he says he used to slip the L1011!

You get the comfort you pay for. Isn't that what you tell your pax?

 

[wrxpilot]

If only it had large whirling discs that could be adjusted to increase drag...

Exactly. When I flew the Brasilia, if you needed more drag than that offered by flaps 45, gear down, and condition levers max, I'd say you done effed up real bad. Maybe the Q400 is a lot more slippery than the old Bro?

The $99 airfare is proof that passengers don't care about airline profits.
