Visual approach and landing with Air Baltic DHC-8 Q400 at Vilnius international airport (EYVI) runway 01, while avoiding some thunderstorms on the way.
Fantastic VFR video. I love watching the Captain hand fly his airplane in. A great turboprop built right in Canada, where I live. Who would have thought that the Dash 8 - 100 would eventually stretch and end up a Q - 400. One of the Q 400's selling features is that it is very economical to fly, using much less fuel than a similar sized jet aircraft. Oh, and quiet, too. A Canadian aviation success story.
@@alexisjimclemente1334 I watched many fly into Toronto's City Centre airport, and they did seem quieter than most. I might be a bit mixed up with the Bombardier CS 100 (now the Airbus 220) It is a really quiet jet that Porter Airlines wanted to fly out of the same airport, except the urban hipsters, in their condos didn't want any jets flying around ! So they use the Q 400
The Dash-8 has a distinctive whistle to its engines. I can always tell her apart from a King Air, Saab 340, Emb-120, Jetstream 31, Shorts 330/360, ATR-42/72, Fairchild Metro, Dornier 328, by sound. You name it, bruh!
I sentiment all you say, except for the quiet. They are very noisy and some have extra noise when taxiing. Like a whirring/buzzing noise. It''s very loud.
It's always a pleasure watching professionals being exactly that; professional. Many lessons for pilots' of all ages and experience but of real significance - note the use of checklists. That's what the professionals do.
Thoroughly enjoyed this footage and a joy to watch... Crystal clear, simple, enough detail to inform without confusing non pilots and loved the "F1" taxi to the remote stand.. Just superb....
First time I have ever seen the First officer Clap on landing.... normally just passengers and not on all airlines. Would have liked more engine and cockpit noise and communications from ATC. But great no silly music added. Thanks for sharing. I am now subscribed for more.
Spkier flaps 35 on the Q400 is challenging considering it has a far different approach as compared to flaps 15. Really different power setting and pitch to flare attitude. Not even the most experienced captain could land a perfect landing consistently. Tho for me it is a fun plane to fly, makes a heck of a pilot out of you.
@@CraZy291 add lots of power towards the end of the landing phase. Don't reduce power below 10% Torque or it will fall out of the sky due to reduction in lift created by the huge 13ft diameter prop. I find 15% (flap 15) works well for most weights. VREF + circa 5 kts and placing one wheel down before the other helps to get the "grease-er" The undercarriage is so long even a decent landing is like landing a shopping trolley with dodgy wheels. For a flap 35 landing approach with around 25% torque then reduce to 15% as you come over the threshold, this works fairly well too. Not sure how well sims replicate this but that's my take on the real aircraft.
Great video! I got about 2000 hrs on the Dash 8-100/300, but never the Q. With this COVID stuff, reducing frequencies and so on, I may end up on the Q. The Classic schedule was much better for me, as I got to spend a lot of time in my home city, in my own bed, instead of sleeping in hotels. The Q is a cool looking plane. I like it a lot.
... this is one of the best shots I've ever seen, I adore aviation, and the cockpit is for me like admiring the body of a naked woman ... beautiful !! , the location of the cameras was correct, I congratulate you, a hug and ... (what envy)
Isn't this just the best aircraft in the world.?my mother is traveling from lusaka Zambia to Johannesburg south Africa tomorrow on one of these.want to see what she will be experiencing
Not quite. If you press the reduced NP landing button, as he did, it stays at 850 despite moving the condition levers to 1020. However, when you press the TOGA button on the throttles for a go-around, it increases to 1020. This is a popular technique to allow landing/approach to take place at 850, but yet keeping 1020 available for go-around by just pressing TOGA.
Q - Specific to Dash 8, I notice second engine shut down immediately, is that protocol on comm prop? If so, wouldn't other comm JETS do the same in their after landing checklists to conserve fuel?? I'm sure that's been thought of as it would save airlines tons of $!! Those w knowledge please opine. TY! Agree to the other comment - raw footage = awesome, clap was cool too from First too! Love it - thank you!
Hi, It is done not only on Q400's but Boeings as well. And yes it saves fuel. Depending on aircraft type & config 3-10 kgs per minute. May not sound a lot, however when done on every flight it creates significant savings.
Very skilled pilot..even his first officer gave him an applause for a super landing..!! Thanks for sharing..!!
The visibility out of the Q400 cockpit is amazing
Gosh.... look at that YOUNG pilot! He's a real PRO!

Johnny Beretta it’s not really quiet. I fly with the dash 8 400 all the time.
Alexis Jim Clemente it’s a lot quieter in cabin than other similar turboprop aircraft like the ATR-72 or even older Dash-8 models though.

9:54 the first officer clapped hands and the captain take a look and smile 😊 it’s cool 😎
hahahahaha

Nailed it, fantastic landing, perfectly on the blocks 👌

What a smooth on point landing! Good job!
Felt really validated seeing this guy trim like a maniac. Thought my FSX was glitching out.
A pleasure to watch. Thank you! Well done
Great video, good views, well done....I don't think I have ever seen the FO applaud on landing before.
Excellent footage of the approach and landing... superb!

4:27 wtf man lolol
More mighty Q400 love it!!! Great job
Great film !! Great professional pilots.
And the Q400 clearly seems good ship .
Ah I absolutely loved living in Vilnius and miss it so much!
This is breathtaking.
top quality video hope to see more
perfect taxi and nice landing ! :)
Great presentation and a great landing!!
Two cool pilots, great flying.
Beautiful! Just beautiful. My favourite aircraft by far. Nice landing. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful Landing!
Well done! Great video!
One of the coolest plane to fly :) Thank's
Such a certified beauty!
Excellent video !
This thing seems like a chore to fly lol. Just from seeing this video and using the majestic q400, very hands on aircraft.
Anthony Polomaine Huge chore. Highly recommend against it.
@@rahstamon19 Definitely. Especially as single pilot.
Funny, I thought, not much communication between pilot and first officer, finally realized, you just can't hear them. Great video.
lovely landing,pilot did so well..love the name of this channel BTW..
Nice landing, the dash is beast and it takes skill to land her smoothly

Wouldn't be calling that a smooth landing... But for a smash 8, it was a good one.
even in Microsoft Flight Simulator, very difficult to land

I love these beautiful airliners.
The Dash 8 is a great plane. It's a little noisy for passengers but a very dependable aircraft. I never hesitate to fly in one.
That hum is soothing though.
Congratulations. Very good. Campo Grande Brasil
Pouso perfeito...Parabéns ao comandante.
Great video 👌🏼
This Dash 8 is too small for you already! Beautiful video.
High speed taxi! Great vídeo!
Dash-8 is amazing aircraft. Greeting from Russia!
...Very nicely videoed and presented. Thank you for sharing...
Very nice , Rain sound like stones
Everything like i do in my so much loved Majestic Dash 8 :-)
Same here!

Pilots have the best view !!!!
Awesome video
Very nice landing and video
nice video and very good landing :)
Phenomenal.
The best visual
✌wonderful landing.
magnific!!!
Muy buen trabajo.
Beautiful Lithuanian countryside coming in.
good job Air Baltic crew :) and fly safe :)
Very quiet airliner. Alaska/Horizon has a lot of them.
Linda aterrisagem.
Nice landing！
Unusual to see the captain lean forward so much to activate switches, as if he was sitting too far back (?)
Very stable approach.
Nice!
Buttered that landing 😁
Great landing.
Good job!
ナイスランディング♪
Nice landing 👌
Butter
Bravo captain 👏🏾
what if the autopilot and navigational equipment mulfunction? can the pilot able to find the route and navigate the plane until landing safely?
Wtf , nice landing
Did I see no two give him a little clap on landing,ha ha great vid.
Noob 😁
Mashruz bruh
First officer cockpit ninja.....! Slow down, it’s not a race
Ha ha,hope you guys have a great new year.
Best Scenery
... this is one of the best shots I've ever seen, I adore aviation, and the cockpit is for me like admiring the body of a naked woman ... beautiful !! , the location of the cameras was correct, I congratulate you, a hug and ... (what envy)
Awesome
Nice video
What does the Captain click with his left thumb at very frequent intervals?
Flying-Experience electric trim. Takes the back / front pressure off the yoke.
Nice job ;P
whaou you're really fast !
Good job
Very Professional pilots there...👏👏
Know how to handle his Airplane😀
🌈
Thanks for that video, and I'd like to see more about Q 400 🌈
Wow...Scooter and Biff really hit that taxiway at high speed. These teenage drivers today...
Like a boss 😎
Why does the -8 have a control lock like that? I never saw one being activated while still moving. Thanks..
Because ailerons are not hydraulic controlled. Its a lock to avoid damage in case of gusts moving them.
The pilot hit the throttle at 4:26 lol
Ok
Le pilote à accroché la manette des gaz à 4:26 lol
@IEnglish 96he acidently hit it and throttled up but he put it back down
sibom Kurwancka De la gaz
What country are they flying into anyway ??
着陸から駐機場までがスムーズ。
Uuuum his is so skillful.
care to explain some checklist,
pre landing,
after landing
just wondering about all switches and buttons the FO is playing with.
What's the Ramp Speed Limit, V1?
Isn't this just the best aircraft in the world.?my mother is traveling from lusaka Zambia to Johannesburg south Africa tomorrow on one of these.want to see what she will be experiencing
Good view..
Did anyone realized how the stand-by ADI was going on and off? Is it because of the camera frame rate?
iskoos yes. Rolling shutter effect
The FO actually increased the NP. From 850 to 1020 RPM.
Not quite. If you press the reduced NP landing button, as he did, it stays at 850 despite moving the condition levers to 1020. However, when you press the TOGA button on the throttles for a go-around, it increases to 1020. This is a popular technique to allow landing/approach to take place at 850, but yet keeping 1020 available for go-around by just pressing TOGA.
@@techfury90 Pretty sure 1020 kicks in after certain power threshold is reached. TOGA on this not like jets.
Why did they cut off the engine 1 on taxi? I never ever saw this before
saves fuel and they can quicker unboard the plane. Since the passengers exit on the left where the prop is.
They should put the heading button on the stick.
it's Good!
What a restless pilot, you don't see that so often...
