Q400 conversion

(Thanks for the Info and advice so far. One Question I'd really like to clarify is to the 'conversion course' I've heard both sides now from varying sources. One side says full course and the other a two day conversion?

Anyone know the true to life story?
Anyone done the 300-400 leap? (When current on the 300) )

Hi, I was current on the Q200/300 and did the conversion course to the Q400. I now fly the A321 but as I remember it was about 5 days which consisted of 2 days computer based ground school (in Stockholm for me ) and 3 days / sessions in the sim.....It was all very gentlemanly and straight forwards, I think you will enjoy it. Q400 is quite different but a nice modern plane to fly if a little un-reliable. You will probably get to practice your abnormal/emergency situations though so you will learn quite a lot. Let me know if I can be of any more help.
