Does anyone have any information related to the Twin Otter.
I am intersted in anything that would prepare me for possible questions related to this type.
Thanks

Carries a load, short TO and landing. Solid as a rock, PT6 engines and will punch along at almost 100 kts.

What else do you need to know, it is a truck.

When studying for a position, always concentrate on your current type, no prospective employer expects you to know about an aircraft you have never flown...:ok:

Listen to Howard ....... :ok:

But if still interested, click here (http://www.answers.com/topic/de-havilland-canada-dhc-6-twin-otter), here (http://www.aoc.noaa.gov/aircraft_otter.htm) or Google (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=DHC-6+Twin+Otter+information&btnG=Google+Search&meta=).

Use wikipedia.org, full of pretty decent aircraft info, can't guarantee accuracy but I guess whatever is on there is just lifted off Google anyway, search 'airlines' as well, comes up with a comprehensive list of operators globally, you can then see the fleets they operate

...........there's an old saying that goes for anything in life where a possible job is at hand............"chance favours the prepared mind".........obviously means there's a good chance if yr prepared.

To a point what Howard said is true but all employers will expect you to know something of the job at hand & in our case as pilots that usually means current ops & A/C type, general performance etc.
Anything in the DH range is well respected, I have a few hrs behind the wheel of a DH104 for Eg. & when I was snooping around for the job I read all I could about the old birds & it payed off.

Good luck but you won't need it much flying at around a 100 kts, wheels always down PT6 engines & the air inside the fuse is much the same as outside !:-)

Kinda hard now to believe that they used to do the YBTL-YBMK-YBRK run!

Don't know if they started in YBCS and ended up in YBBN like the Dash 8s do.

Never had the pleasure of finding out, but YBTL - YBRK in a Twotter - what a pain!

FTDK:cool:

try Fiji-LA

Reality is the twotter is not fast, it is also not that slow.

TAS 160Kts or faster (300's) if you don't mind burning more fuel.
