Anyone care to satisfy this old Bonanza pilot's curiosity?
What is the TAS in cruise of a Q400?
How does this compare with the "non-Q400"?
What did they do to get the Q400 to GO?
My interest was triggered by the fact that, over a short leg (<200 nm) the Bo is generally not too far behind older Dash 8's, but I recently "raced" one of the new ones from Mackay to Rocky. I took off from YBMK behind one with only the length of the runway between us, but it was taxying YBRK for departure before I had landed.
Seems very quick!
Are the QL Dash 8s breeding? There were at least
8 of them on the ground at YBBN today !!!!
