Q400 fleet

AnotherFlapOperator: Depending on your hours, you might very well find yourself in the LHS of the Q400 not the RHS.

As for SOPs:

Captain talks to ground crew.

PF starts engines.

Captain taxis out and lines up.

PF has control once cleared t-o.

PF will carry out any rejected t-o.

PF has control entire flight.

PF carries out landing.

Captain takes control at 60knots on landing and vacates runway and taxis in.

As for the journey log and areas to be filled in on the flight plans - yes they are a bit tedious but generally the info is off blocks time, t-o time, ramp fuel, fuel burnt, fuel remaining, on blocks time, landing time, did you tank fuel?, did you use a gpu?, did any crew member have a taxi before or after their duty?, did you de-ice and how much fluid did you use if so?, who was PF for the sector?, did you have a push back?, did you carry out a practise or actual low vis app?, how many paxs, infs, cargo?

As I said it can be tedious but more often than not its no to most of that lots on the journey log so its all quite straight forward.
