Q for multi operators...
I just watched a short video about approaches to Courchevel ('cos I love the location).
On final, a Dash 8 co was calling, 'plus 6', 'plus 5', plus 5' etc all the way down. I assume this was the airspeed above the threshold speed (if that's the right term- probably has a 'v' to itself)? Am I close? CG |
Sounds about right. Vref is what you're thinking of.
|
Was it a Q400 or a diddy Dash?
|
Oo-er... Four engines, does that help?
|
Dash 7!!!!
|
What a tit! Me that is- just checked the vid, Dash 7. Thanks.

Can't help you with the cockpit calls but I was once sat in the, frankly lovely, surroundings of the Altibar Le Pilatus Courchevel supping a Citron Pressé (because it was literally the only thing I could afford on the menu) when a parapente landed with such precision and grace that the entire restaurant stood and applauded.
Such recognition was not extended to the aircraft as they were deemed too noisy. |
I'd love to fly in there, just to say I had. It's a fabulous location- I've recently taken up skiing, and can stand for ages on a lovely sunny day watching them come and go. I can't think of another airfield where you get such a great view either.

Very nice. There is some very skilled commercial mountain flying goes on in this world!:D Very demanding to balance weather/difficulty/safety/pressure to get job done, I think.:ok:
