Thank you! I just wish I had time to put together more videos and faster. It has been a year and I only have half the systems done. I guess the project was ambitious when i started, but I also don't want to compromise quality for speed. I am only just starting now, but Pressurization will be next Hopefully it will be simpler (faster) than the previous module, but this is a very distracting and busy time of year.
@@CaptNabs You are welcome. Dont we all wish we had more time? I know I do these days. Anyways, the format you have made is incredible on several points; Primarily the rate at which you talk is for the most part perfect, not too fast or slow. There are perhaps some parts where I have to rewind because things went a little bit fast, but it is okay because it forces me to repeat. Then, the Q&A at the end is fantastic. I am actually a holder of FAA CPL-H with an IR converted to EASA licenses. Currently I am doing something called a bridge course to go from EASA CPL-H to A and I am using the Majestic Q400 to make the AGK (EASA syllabus Aircraft General Knowledge) more fun and interesting. I discovered your vids today and found them superb and super helpful. Keep up the good work and thank you again!
Another incredible video... I really appreciate all of your hard work. It's definitely helping me learn to understand this beast of a plane more. Thank you! Looking forward to the next one.
Glad they're helping you. Its good to know that my work is worthwhile. After the complexity of electrical, the next one will be relatively simple. The APU should be done this week.
That was excellent! I am getting answers for questions I didn't know existed. The way you explain each system's operative functions and what to do when one fails is great. I encourage you to make more of these types of Q400 lessons. You are a great teacher, and this particular lesson is of quality like the PMDG NGX from Angle of Attack. Thank you, and keep them coming! I am getting to know my Majestic Q400 more and put it above my PMDG 737NGX and 777s respectively. Great job! A+
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it educational. That is my whole goal. There are lots of people out there who want to fly the Dash just the way it's flown in the real world, and Majestic will let you do that. But their documentation simplifies most things to appeal to the larger audience. So I'm trying to fill that gap with knowledge based on the real world.More videos are on the way, but it's a 1-man effort. So it takes a while, depending on the system. Electrical took 3 weeks of solid work. So please be patient.
Mike Stephenson Not yet. I am presently working on Pneumatics, but it is very slow during summer. The rate I publish videos at should increase again in September. As long as you subscribe you should see the new ones as they come out. Thanks for watching!
Many thanks Capt. I like the way you have done these technically...especially with the questions at the end for review. A very nice format. Do you have a list of what you have done so far....I think I have them all, but would like to confirm. Many thanks again.
Wow outstanding video, thanks for putting that together. At first I was like whoa that's too much info... but couldn't tear my eyes away from it. Now I understand the system much better! For instance I will stop flipping on the AC Bus switch just because I think it should be!
Thanks for the compliment. I am glad it helps. That's my goal. There is so much misinformation on the Q out there. For those that want to fly it like a pro, I hope these help.
hello, nice training sessions. in the questionary the answer to the fifth question is partly wrong, as for example the standby battery only powers the hot battery bus and the left essential bus. with reagrd to the presented power failure of both left and right dc gen and one tru respective one ac gen, why cannot the remaining tru power the main busses via the epcu tie? have many thanks for your great and always well explained lecture series. greetings
Hello Captain Nabs, this playlist is really helpful, can you please make a video about DASH 8 Q400 performance calculations and performance general, take off , enroute , landing. Can you share any study material regarding the same?? I would be really grateful.
When I flew the Dash, we used a proprietary 3rd party system to generate performance data. I have no access to that. Unfortunately, my time for this project is on pause until the Dash 8 releases for MSFS. Glad what I have published has helped.
Amazing video! If 1 TRU remaining, all batteries are disconnected to avoid feeding Main buses. Is it automatic by the EPCU or must be done by the pilot?
This must be done by the pilots manually. It is part of the "LOSS OF GENERATED POWER" aka "#1DCGEN AND #2DCGEN AND EITHER #1ACGEN AND #2ACGEN OR LTRU AND/OR RTRU (CAUTION LTS)" checklist.
Great question. This is a side-effect of the way the EPCU operates. The EPCU is not able to directly detect a fault (short circuit) in any of the buses. So when the TRU trips it's circuit breaker due to the fault, the EPCU assumes the TRU was faulty and tries to route power from the other secondary bus through the bus tie. As a result, the fuse blows and the faulty bus is successfully isolated. The fuse is there explicitly for this purpose.
Yes. The output from GEN2 should be below 40 amps before starting engine 1. However, the Majestic dash will always display a very high load of 70 amps on only one engine, and this doesn't diminish as the battery "recharges".
The Dash 8-100 was the original version. Much smaller. Max 37 pax I believe. They stretched it with the -200 and -300 versions until they completely redesigned it for the -Q400 version to seat up to 80 pax with (somewhat) modernized avionics.
Excellent question. I believe the answer is yes, as long as all the battery switches are on. AC Ground Power is not really used on the Q400 except for maintenance purposes, so I am honestly not very familiar with it. Thanks for the great question. Enjoy the videos.

Superb video. Great clarity and depth. Look forward to the other systems in the pipeline and cannot thank you enough for your time.
Thanking for your effort and hard work . I beleive that sharing knowledge is one of the noble thing a human being can do.
Wow! You sir have done an amazing job! Im delighted to have found your CBT-series. Thank you so much for the effort.

Disregard my last question...I have subscribed and can see them all I am pretty sure.
Many many many thanks, flawless videos 🫡🫡🫡
Simple and useful. Great Job. When are you planning to make a video for flight control system
Happy it helps. Q400 videos are on hiatus until the Majestic Q400 arrives in MSFS.

Hi do you have any more videos on q400 systems training communication/ navigation and others ?
Thankyou . Great video.
Big-big like and thanks!

You saved me a large headache
Just call me Captain Advil. :D
Amazing video!

@@CaptNabs Thanks for the answer!
If secondary bus fail, what is the goal of closing the tie and melt the fuse, since the secondary bus was already isolated?
Great question.
This is a side-effect of the way the EPCU operates. The EPCU is not able to directly detect a fault (short circuit) in any of the buses. So when the TRU trips it's circuit breaker due to the fault, the EPCU assumes the TRU was faulty and tries to route power from the other secondary bus through the bus tie. As a result, the fuse blows and the faulty bus is successfully isolated. The fuse is there explicitly for this purpose.
@@CaptNabs Thank you for your answer. Great job.
Having started #2 engine, is there a battery load limit which must be observed, prior to starting #1 engine?
Yes. The output from GEN2 should be below 40 amps before starting engine 1.
However, the Majestic dash will always display a very high load of 70 amps on only one engine, and this doesn't diminish as the battery "recharges".
awesome!!!
What are the differences between dash q100 and q400 ?
The Dash 8-100 was the original version. Much smaller. Max 37 pax I believe. They stretched it with the -200 and -300 versions until they completely redesigned it for the -Q400 version to seat up to 80 pax with (somewhat) modernized avionics.
Hi Capt nabs! On ground and with only ac external available, will the batteries be charged?
Excellent question. I believe the answer is yes, as long as all the battery switches are on. AC Ground Power is not really used on the Q400 except for maintenance purposes, so I am honestly not very familiar with it.
Thanks for the great question. Enjoy the videos.
Thanks Capt Nabs for the reply.Very informative videos!
Hi there I am a real world Dash 8 pilot just on the TR. Amazing videos. Do you have an email address I could contact you on? Thanks Mark
If you want to contact me, I am on gmail, at the same name as my channel.
