- Three airline companies are operating the venerable DHC-6 Twin Otter on floats: Maldivian Seaplane, Manta Air, and TMA (Trans Maldivian Airways).

Absolutely spectacular footage from 6:54 - crosswind landing to mooring in one single shot!
Very interesting to watch. I particularly liked the final crosswind landing but they were all stylish and I really like the use of differential engine to line up with the pontoons.
How cool is that!!!
I liked the last part as well. Nice to see a really useful flight attendance.
Thank you for posting one more great video.Aviation in paradise!I just love the way they use Beta mode,makes their ''landings'' safer and very impressive...
whats a beta mode?
A slight correction,low pitch propeller angle to a little bit of reverse propeller angle is beta.
Beta mode is when propeller pitch is controlled with the power levers. This mode is active when the power levers are between flight idle and reverse. When the power levers are at flight idle or further forward, the power levers control engine power. Beta mode is also called "low pitch" (ATR 42/72) and "disc" (Dash-8).
@@FlywithMagnar I stand corrected,sir,thank you.
Poor old Otter -the tail gets an absolute drenching on landing. Keeps the structures guys employed , I guess.
yes we do tail repairs in every 125 hours inspection, the tail position light burns out very quickly since it's almost under water during takeoff. there's literally dried up salt in there. We rinse the whole aircraft regularly.
Good video. Perhaps you need a secondary job as a Twin Otter on floats pilot???
That would be great!
Good video
Beautiful
Great footage. Thanks for that.
এই গুলি বাংলা দেশের মধ্যে আরো বাড়ানোর একান্ত দরকার বাংলা দেশের জন্য
❤👏👏👏 🌊✈️👍🏻✨
Where the floater are installed? Direct from factory? How much they affect IAS & increase drag? So interesting 🤔
they install the floaters from the maldives
Had to watch with ear muffs😂. Nice!
Great footage. Seems that Maldivian and Manta keep on power and sailing fast after touch down compared to TMA. Are their docks further away? Great crosswind landing, one wheel err I mean float at a time. EDIT: I saw RAB! He is still flying with blue skies.
Yes, TMA has a shorter distance to the docks than the others.
@@FlywithMagnar Takk!
