ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มี.ค. 2021
- Pacific Coastal is a regional airline headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, that flies a fleet of Beechcraft 1900Cs, 1900Ds, and Saab 340A and B models.
One of their shorter routes is the Vancouver to Victoria route, a route that's just 60 kilometres between the two airports.
Today, I try out Pacific Coastal's Beech 1900D on this uniquely short flight!

3000- hours in the 1900C/D…LOVED every second!
Great view beginning at 04:25 as the aircraft banks to the right. Visible are the 'Flying Beaver' restaurant and seaplane terminal. On the other side of the Fraser River is the 'Terra Nova' area of Richmond, a great trail to cycle or walk while watching aircraft lift off.
That short flight packs a lot of great scenery, love those glimpses through the cockpit windows as well. Nice footage aboard the 1900D!
That window tint makes it looks like Mexico in TV shows lol.
Sitting at the back with a crosswind landing is the coolest view ever!!
I have been flying the 1900’s for 32years, and yes , love it. 19,000 hrs and counting. I suspect my company owns one of your former steeds, as it had a dark blue wing. G-ROC was the tail# ! Blue sky’s boys!
I've flown this route many times. The scenery never fails to disappoint.
I can understand your love for the 1900. I used to fly the 1900-D for a regional in the United States. It was a blast to fly! We had regular passengers that loved that plane too. I miss flying that bird.
This is definitely on my bucket list one day!
I have flown the 1900 many times in Northern Saskatchewan. It is a lot of fun!
Smart seat choice, most people don’t know that it’s quieter to the rear on a prop
I used to live in Smithers (YYD) and periodically flew to Calgary (YYC) on Central Mountain Air's 1900D on a Monday morning. Beautiful flight Smithers > Prince George > Dawson Creek > Calgary. Highlight one time was flying past the top of Mount Robson. Friday night return flight (that didn't stop in Dawson Creek) was flying past Columbia Icefields at sunset.
Thanks for supporting Canadian aviation during these tough times!
hopefully canada can escape the current communist rulers
Your video tour of the Vancouver south terminal is interesting.
I MISS hoping the Great Lakes 1900Ds from Cheyenne, WY (CYS) to Denver, Co (DEN).
One of my favourite things about living in Vancouver is access to the island. We should never take the beauty here for granted.
True! I feel you could explore all of BC in your lifetime and still never see all its hidden gems
Thank you, I did this flight about 24 years ago, best flight ever as it is so short and scenic.
Hopefully you enjoyed the Pasco Experience Alex!
Thanks for the trip report. Flew this route last September 2020 during the US forest fires which eliminated the views for me. Great to see the views I missed. 😎
Great videos - you should do Harbor air and Heli jet Van to Vic and compare them
Huge 1900 D fan here used to fly those birds on US Air Express always loved the small regionals 1900 D ,SAAB 340, Dash 8, Embraer 145
What a fantastic video! Subbed
Very cool, I'm scheduled to fly on this very aircraft to Bella Coola tomorrow.
This aircraft is quick for a propjob: Victoria to Port Hardy in 1 hour and 10 minutes, comfortable, and quiet.
I remember doing that incredibly short flight back in the 1970s on an Air Canada Vickers Viscount. And, like you, I've always enjoyed flying on the 1900D.
wow, the scenery is simply spectacular! I want to fly this route someday.
Nice video, and I see you were parked next to one of the 1900's I used to work on, nice to see it again. Keep up the good work
My home airport. Awesome video Alex!
Great one Alex, enjoyed as always
great interesting Canadian aviation!
Well done.. keep it up
Excellent video! Great plane, great flying skills and an awesome scenery. Enjoyed watching very much ✈️👍
RWY 14 is somewhat unusual for Pasco, but it makes for some neat angles, so I can't complain. Nice trip report as always!
Wow stunning scenery 👍😍
Great video of a cool plane!
Dude that’s me !!! I’m the first officer hahaha
So beautiful. I would fly this kind of flight daily if I could.
$200 one way. Not bad when you consider the cost and time for the ferry.
Oh wow Beautiful scenery for sure, This service is on my list for sure gotta try this
Nice trip report! I flew a Pasco 1900D from the south terminal of CYVR to CYQQ (Comox) and back--my first on such a small regional aircraft, not including the seaplanes that I've flown in Vancouver to Victoria and back. I love flying, but I have to say that I felt a little claustrophobic in the 1900D. I was also a little surprised about having to step over a hump in the middle of the aircraft ... containing what I think are the wing spars.
Hi from Austria! This reminds me of a TV series back in the 70s. About a family and a water plane somewhere along the west coast. The scenery was always just as spectacular!
probably thinking about Danger Bay.
@@johnnymeahan5218 yes 😀😀 thats it!!! Thank you 🤗
flew this back when i visited last year its was pretty sweet :)
I like 1900c most. It is more elegant. ))
I love, at the end, the race between the plane and the ferry ⛴! Definitely on the list! Also correct me if I’m wrong, but are they still in Canadian livery? Thks!
VFR even! IFR gets 4000'. But it's much more scenic vfr at 2.
Nice vid 👌
There is a Canadian airline that flies this route with a 737!!
Air North and Flair... and a few times with Air Canada and Air Transit operating an A320/321!
@@ncscapture1417 After take-off, Pilot calls for gear up. Co-pilot says "why bother"....
guys flair ended service a month or two ago
and air north operates it once or twice a week
Great video! Once the borders open, hopefully I can get up there and fly the 1900D.
Thanks for the trip report Alex. ✔︎
Did pacific coastal from Prince George to Victoria in the Beech craft 1900
Super video Alex! There really are some quite fascinating flights in Canada! I’d love to fly there one day! Keep up the amazing work 😃😃👍👍
Been on this plane a few times YBL to YVR and return
I just flew this route a few weeks ago! It’s a great flight. Next time you’re at YYJ you should definitely check out the BC Aviation Museum if you haven’t been before; I had a layover between Pacific Coastal flights (YVR-YYJ-YLW) and it was amazing. Also, while the YVR South Terminal lacks some amenities, Galiano Cafe before security is excellent.
EDIT: In fact, looking back at my photos, I rode this exact plane (C-GPCR) on February 26, 2021!
The whining Flap and MLG deployment hydraulic sounds similar to the Dreamliner 🤪
66 miles is pretty short. But I have been on shorter. 22 miles. Lewiston Idaho to Pullman, Washington.
Lucky you got to fly in that prop. Jets might be more exciting but they're everywhere whereas regional turboprops aren't so abundant (at least not anymore) so flying on props is more exotic than flying on jets if you ask me. Would you agree?
I recently found your channel and really like the content. Could you do a short documentary on a northern Canadian airline known as North Wright airways? They fly planes like the Beech 1900 and Twin Otter
I'm sure glad they no longer use the Metroliner!
1:06 Don’t forget to pause the video and read about this history.
Fly on these every 2 weeks two and from work. But for cma
I flew a 1900D back in 1988 between Blanc Sablon QC and Deer Lake NFLD. I don't recall the orange windows. (though in fairness, when I scanned the Kodachrome slides, so had to do major colour correction anyway. My bike flew on the belly of aircraft) with some baggage going into a compartment ahead of cockpit as I recall. It was a very bumpy ride. And no winglets :-) I have to wonder if adding winglets for such short hops is net positive because the advantage is at level flight which sin't long enough on those flights to counter the extra weight of aircraft.
Likely you flew on the Beechcraft 1900C( Low ceiling and no winglets).
The 1900D first flew in 1991 and all of them rolled off the production line standard with winglets.
Thank you so much for coming back to Victoria!
Me and many others in the Victoria aviation community are big fans and we would love for you to come back anytime!
P.s great vid man
I am also from Victoria and really enjoy all your aviation videos. Just started watching last year. We used to own a Cessna 172. I miss flying and flying on the airlines too right now. Man that plane sure looks narrow. Never flown Pacific Coastal before.
Last time I did this flight I made it even cooler by flying my own plane home. She’d stranded me in Victoria a week earlier with a starter issue, but with views like that it’s hard to stay annoyed. 🙂
Awsome video Alex!! What a enjoyable experience to get to Victoria as compared to spending half a day on BC ferries to get there. What did they charge you for a oneway ticket?
I always check google maps for trip details. But does Vancouver have two international airports?
How was the noise inside during flight
I think my comment was deleted. Anyways, I'm 6'8-6'9 so I feel your pain with legroom. :-)
3 people 😔
im never booking this flight,its way too short.:)
This plane has a massive forehead
Steering away from this lecture but putting a similarity, Noreen Kastner el al. v. Beech Aircraft corporation describes a wrongful death manufacture of aircraft failure no warn of defect-evidence spin propensities' of aircraft reports of instance's of similar accidents were admissible to show causation of the accident and to rebut any issue of contributory fault, not to establish the manufacturer's knowledge of the spin propensities of the aircraft. However, there was other evidence for the jury to conclude that the maker know of the aircraft's spin characteristics. Dunn v. Beech Aircraft Corp., 276 F. Supp. 91, 1967 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 8511
