If you try to pull the trigger on a Dash 8 power lever you will hear an annoying sound. We call it the cockpit bird and use it to gain attention of the F/As` or to distrack them. A propaircraft with real airbrakes is the Transall used by the german army. Some of the Transallguys who joined my company told me they are really effective for so called Sarajevo approaches. On some regular approaches I think they`ve forgotten sitting on a Dash 8...check altitude...check pitch...check speed...check...aaaahhhh
