Dash 8-300Q questions
Dear colleagues,
I recently went through a Dash 8 type rating course and now that I am reviewing all the training stuff, the following doubts arised:
- During start-up procedure I was told to time for oil pressure indication. I realised that, at least in the simulator, that the average time for first gauge indication is between 5 and 10 secs, but I couldn´t find in the limitations chapter an specific amount of time after which a shutdown must be carried out. What´s your company policy/procedure? Is it company´s own limitation or the one provided by Bombardier?
- Heard of some airlines engaging (arming) the autofeather system on final approach in anticipation for a go-around and a subsequent engine failure. Is this true? Approved by the manufacturer? Pros and cons?.
Tnx!
