I thought I would start a discussion about the Majestic Q400 to list resources (web sites, documents, and videos) to assist with "pilot training"

I'll start with the a link to an obscure website with good information on the Universal Navigation System (UNS) that is the brains of the Flight Management System (FMS) for the Majestic Q400:
Universal Navigation System Website (http://www.gta.igs.net/~kiddbatt/DOCS/unsbs/unsrewrite.html)
Interesting factoid is the UNS is manufactured in Tucson, Arizona which is about a 90 minute drive from where I live.
The above website has the links for downloading two documents for the UNS Operators Manual and a Training Manual.
And for those who like to watch stuff rather than read stuff, here is a good YouTube video I found useful regarding the FMS:

Nice one Beef.
I was in the middle of doing it. You have the experience so keep going :thumbsup
A very immersive, realistic and fun aircraft.

Great idea!
Thanks Beef, I will post anything I find here that helps me along my path to learning the Dash 8 as well.

Stardog and Beef.
I think we should have a little section for the Majestic Dash8 Q400. This way we can keep things in order...Build a proper little resource centre.
What you guys think?
-
Ya if you would like or maybe just a pinned thread with just resources.
Whatever you all think is best.

I think it is a good idea to have a Q400 section all it's own. Only because of how high fidelity it is.
How to fly it and how to navigate it for starters.

Does this mean you guys have to leave 1s2?

Beef is a very good pilot. he is tasked with testing the viability of Majestic Q400 at 1S2 :book

Excellent.

Keep it up Beef. This is a great help. I will have a section up soon.
Thanks :thumbsup

I think that in real life this aircraft is a bit difficult to land properly. I use them quite often and nearly every time pilots slam it into the runway. :pilotfly Just a real life observation.

I have read similar Lusik :banghead

There is a reason they call it the Crash 8.
-
And a reason for higher than usual gear failure rate.

Exactly. And in such cases something like this may happen.
