Greg inConway VIDEO OF F-15 from take off to interception to shooting the Q400 out of the Air... th-cam.com/video/mlMwMc7fDgk/w-d-xo.html - i personly believe their was Not any communication with the Q400 and what you hear on the pre recorded coms / frequency is some other jerky boy
His last hour he was free, he lived...that's a lot more than most of us can say. I wish I could of tried to help this young man. This is very sad. You don't diagnose yourself. He was just going through something that would of passed it sounded like. He could of had a long career as a pilot. RIP Rich :(
Rich was free man. These guys have thousands of hours in a Dash 8 and will cont flying it fore years, yet they will never know the joys of doing barrel roll right off the deck in one.
It's rare to find cockpit videos of this high quality, sensible camera focus and without the excess moving and shaking on TH-cam, especially with the Dash8-400. I really enjoyed watching this.
Pretty interesting stuff. I’m sure this channel will be busy over the next few days so everyone can figure out how “Rich” did it. He seemed to have a pretty good handle on flying ? However unorthodox his skills were we’ll never know I guess.
Looks like the pilots had chicken Parmesan for lunch. I watched this video at 3:00 am and when I saw that, I got hungry, so I paused the video and made me a sandwich. These guys they are working in the best office in the world, an aircraft cockpit! I love these checklists!
I have just been on a return trip to Scotland from Southampton with Flybe on one of these. I was amazed at the power of the engines on takeoff. A bit noisy but that adds to the character. Very good aircraft in my opinion.
Just love the twin jet-props and enjoy watching them fly over our house on approach to CYYJ Victoria BC. I have always wondered just what the props are doing during taxi when they periodically produce a very distinctive 'growl'. Is it from adjusting the pitch angle to produce more or less thrust when assisting a turn? And the camera cut out....sounded like a carrier type landing..100......50....40...30..20.10!🙈😂 Thanks for this fantastic video!
Many many thanks and happy greetings to everyone in Toronto ......... (っ◕‿◕)っ The propellers make a loud sound when the blades start beating the air (as they feather) rather than pulling the air. I like that sound too and if we sit at a window seat right next to where the propeller is then it is really noticeable - the pitch angle of the blades changing. So glad that you enjoyed the clip. Thank you. Nara ........ (ツ)
i was an electrical installer at bombardier aerospace back in 2000. i know the wiring involved in the 400. most of the wiring runs right under the floor boards and behind the overhead bins..
Hi, excellent video, I agree with other viewers that it is far more enjoyable without music. Many, many years ago we always went in the cockpit to visit the pilots. What is your position on this flight? I also enjoyed your drive around Launceston
and what are this black boxes with folding part we see @3:18, just after the "speedy" control of the stick commands, by both crew ? some form of checklist reminder ? it has been added on top of the dashboard, reducing angle of view, I imagine
Thanks for watching nanba25 ........ (ツ) I think you might be referring to the mechanical checklist which is a Scrolling Checklist. Each panel can be raised or folded down with a shutter system used to either cover or uncover the item. Multiple panels or individual items can be raised/uncovered at the same time ........ (っ◕‿◕)っ
It's quite a cramped space there, you feel it @1:57 Pilot and copilot have Bose headphones, are they better than the other type we often see on videos,withe their light olive hue ?
We need some recent and qualified help here to answer these two questions please ........ (｡◕‿◕｡) Looking at your channel and seeing all the jet airliner videos there we can assume that you mean all the way to becoming an airline pilot Right?
Jonathon Kearney get college grades, go to an airline scheme who are offering trainees internships, then work your way up to being a pilot from there. Depends what country you’re from, as it is easier in some places than others.
Ha ha. But that's not what happened. I was a bit jerky with the camera plus just wanted the tape to fit in with the music version so I shortened the clip a little. Then someone wanted the "no music" version so hence this upload but I had already edited it so the missing full touch down is a little missing. Sorry ! ...... (◕︿◕✿)
Ah cool, thanks for the reply. Yeah the touchdown's always a bit shaky, and for some reason everyone loves to complain about the music choice. I think it would be awesome to somehow plug into the ICS from the jumpseat and record the audio because you can never hear what they are saying.
Yay ! Glad that you understood that perfectly. Thank you....... ☆☆☆☆☆ The only time one can really show how the aircraft felt when the wheels touch the ground is to have the camera mounted to a solid base. Hand held techniques will always exaggerate the movement and most people will miss interpret that as a rough landing which is not the case at all. Many happy greetings ......... (っ◕‿◕)っ Nara Oh ! This is the link to Sydney Tower but as to getting the audio of intercom between pilots and pilots to ground etc then one would have to put the headset ear piece over the mic recorder of the camera.

I've flown on Dash 8 Q400'S from Melbourne to Mildura many times & If the pilots are using VFR flight rules how do they know when to start descending into a airport like Mildura?.
Some simple methods that I know are : Distance to begin TOD = Altitude to ground x 3 (eg 30,000 feet to airport = 30 x 3 = 90 miles out. Rate of decent = Ground speed / 2 x 10. So ground speed 300 knots, ROD = 300/2 x 10 = 1500f/m or more simple calculations at selected rate of decent say 800 f/m and a height to loose 8000 feet then that would equal to approximately 10 minutes time to decent .......... (｡◕‿◕｡)
how hard was that touch down ?? cant tell because the video was cut right at that point it seems like that aircraft hit pretty hard ... why was it cropped to not show the most important part of the flight ? other than that great video love it
Nice video...thanks for making this. Me like sitting in the cockpit too. Very convenient checklist box on dashboard by manufacturer default. I would like to buy q400 sometime in future.....excellent plane for regional purposes!
interesting checklist thingy, does that have a name? other than "dash mounted checklist"? also is there a reason the prop turns so slow? I mean 850-1020rpm seems pretty slow even for a turboprop, is it because you have prop blades the size of a school bus? are you torque limited at all for take-off? or is that just entirely fadec managed? looks like you just leave the power levers at the "rating" detent the whole time? what does the "disc" detent do? would it let you go below flight idle when airborne? Sorry for the laundry list of questions, I've always been fascinated by these machines. Seems like a real hate it or love it kind of airplane. Definitely looks more fun to fly than the seminole I'm stuck with every day lol
Well here goes the answers you’ve been waiting for: Checklists are called “Stand Ups” but are no longer used Yes the RPM is so low because the props are massive FADEC handles everything and the Rating Detent is used for normal maximum power Can’t go below flight idle airborne, all hell would break loose And DISC is kinda like neutral in a car, minimal resistance for starting and helps you slow down massively when landing

Rich had some BALLS!
Rip SkyKing unlimited barrel rolls in heaven
My son is a pilot on a Q400, I am proud of him.
Very cool, flying on an Alaskan Airlines one day after tomorrow
RIP RICH, we know you were just trying to have some fun
Man the sound of a Turboprop spooling up is just majestic
So much more enjoyable without music. Just the sounds of the aircraft are music to my ears

Todd Davis They rejected him from flight school because they said they're program only had spots for minorities.

RIP Skyking, this was the view that he had before his glorious life had been ended, in fashion.
Who is Skyking?
@@ThomasKop that one who stole the Q400 from Alaska in Seattle last month ago.
Ingenious checklist system on top of the dash!
Great video, and good decision to re-upload with no music I love hearing the background noises!
Ha ha. Thank you ....... :)
Rich the legend did the barrel rolls!!
On a dash 8?
HAHAHA you first
@@DennisAsiema why not?
I came here to see what it would be like to fly with #SkyKing.
How on earth did my hero Rich fly that beast?
Not only fly but barrel roll and back flip that thing .RIP skyking
I’m surprised how many Q400 vids now have flooding comments about rich.
Love the after takeoff flow! Flaps up > Bleeds ON/NORM > A/F OFF > Stby Hyd, PTU OFF > Prop 900
Thank you ............... (っ◕‿◕)っ
I like the chklist sliders idea so much!
Im so excited to fly with the Dash8 from Hamburg to Bergen with Wideroe Airlines😊
Pretty interesting stuff. I’m sure this channel will be busy over the next few days so everyone can figure out how “Rich” did it. He seemed to have a pretty good handle on flying ? However unorthodox his skills were we’ll never know I guess.
Never seen checklists like that. Practical.
The landing touchdown was edited out... he planted it a bit firmly.
I thought that too :-)
Jeff Beach I am guessing, but it’s possible that it was a bit windy/gusty. In such weather it’s better to be a bit firm than smooth

I have to say, Bombardier sets up the cockpit and panels just right.
Gert Nel I’m no pilot but I’d love to know why you say this. Do you drive the Q-400?
Michael Bonner, I don’t think you “drive” planes.
I don't drive my boat, I swim it :D
Just enough right so a crazy person can steal it :D
That had to be a hard landing
I have just been on a return trip to Scotland from Southampton with Flybe on one of these. I was amazed at the power of the engines on takeoff. A bit noisy but that adds to the character. Very good aircraft in my opinion.
Awesome checklist...btw, that is one excellent precision flying...great interception on the localizer on that final turn...spot on!

One of the best videos like this. Thanks for leaving the sound alone.

Dash8 Q400. A lovely aircraft. I like them a lot. Nice to have an aviation vid without muzak ;-)

The propellers make a loud sound when the blades start beating the air (as they feather) rather than pulling the air.
I like that sound too and if we sit at a window seat right next to where the propeller is then it is really noticeable - the pitch angle of the blades changing.
So glad that you enjoyed the clip.
Thank you.

I could see the mama orca.
Flip-up, dash-mounted checklists: Because having a single, laminated sheet of paper is just too cumbersome.
Yeah, that is quite the odd contraption they've got there for checklists.
I like seeing all of the hand flying!

Well, at least they know it IS possible, even if they dont want to.
Rip skyking
probably the best turboprop!✈
What excellent insight. Great footage!
I like this visual approach , good job team
Merci pour ce vol avec les pilotes d'avions.
I will film the next time I fly on a Dash 8 ... I think they're great. Should be in September, fly down to Southampton.
that has to be the most complicated mechanical checklist ive ever seen
Great Video! This plane must be a dream to fly!! Thank you!
Thank you kindly.......... (｡◕‿◕｡)
The captain seen here is now flying the Airbus 330's
Melbourne R16 down to Launceston and up the Tamar River! - Done that flight many times, but in jets.
Per someone else's comment I will forever call a barrel roll a Rich Roll. And hope to one day not have to explain sky kings story.
It's quite a cramped space there, you feel it @1:57
Pilot and copilot have Bose headphones, are they better than the other type we often see on videos,withe their light olive hue ?
nanba25 much better than the olive David Clarks.
hah...I love how you cut out the landing, incomplete flare.
Camera vibration on touching the ground and I was watching the landing, not at the camera, so had to take out a split second bit .......... (っ◕‿◕)っ
Are those stacks on the top of the glare shield the checklists? If so, that's a neat system!
It is!
What a wonderful video! Really enjoyed it - was that a visual circle-to-land approach by any chance?

"Never gonna crash you down or hurt you"

Very good,no music on!
It's not a jet, but piloting this Q400 must be just as cool.

Ammazing Check List.
Is that normal to be so aggressive with the control checks?
50...40...30...20...10....oh god this is going to be hard!!! And they cut it. I think they just wanted to spare the PF's online reputation.
Ha ha. But that's not what happened.

FADEC handles everything and the Rating Detent is used for normal maximum power
Can’t go below flight idle airborne, all hell would break loose
