How about a new thread somewhere:
Wishlist for the Dash-8-500 (or Dash 8-X):
I'll continue those mentioned above (speedbugs). I want:
- A sidewindow you can open
- Automatic rudder trim (having to make trim-changes every time you cange power is annoying...
)
- A "quiet" cockpit on the ground! They did it with the -300, why has the -400 got to make all those dings and triple dings every time a door is opened or any warning or caution lights come on during and after engine-shut down? Shouldn't be to difficult a logic: WOW and engine off: no sound
- a push to center heading bug (and include those self-aligning, self-identifying VOR/ILS option which is used on the CRJ as well!)
- a properly working air conditioning system. How come you can have about 40° difference in the ducts on the -300 and only about 20° on the 400? It can get really freezing up front with a full load in the back
- A bigger airplane HASN'T GOT to feel bigger - make the handflying easy!
Otherwise I love the Dash
- Great airplane, reliable. Flies just like a big Cessna
