Montreal :: Air Canada Express Dash 8 Q400 take off

Take off seen from seat 9F as we departed from Montreal Pierre-Elliot Trudeau. The take off took place on runway 6R after de-icing on January 3rd. We flew from Montreal (YUL) to Toronto Billy Bishop airport (YTV).

I love flying on the Q400, she's one agile, quick, sexy beast!

For a weird reason the modern propellers plane sound like a jet or have a turbo

[@adrianoquendo1827]

It's because they do. they're literally called turboprops

[@rudolphna54]

That would be because turboprop aircraft like the Dash 8 use a gas turbine engine to drive the propeller instead of a piston engine. It literally has a jet engine that turns the prop.

Why did they do the after takeoff announcement so early

[@bagelboi66]

Hello what seat were you in? I have an upcoming journey and the second leg involves this aircraft type and I want the seat closest to the prop :D
[edit] never mind, I just read the description again and *duh*
how do you like this compared to the older Dash 8-300's that Jazz flies on short routes?

[@calvinrovinescu6166]

Well the older Dash 8 is, well, older inside, louder, and significantly slower and shorter. The Q400 shares the same interior as the new CRJs.

KIPAX 3? on dirait qu'il tourne aux alentours de 500'...?
