Dash-8 pilots
 

Hi

I'm interested to find out what a typical pitch attitude for the 8 is on approach, does this vary significantly with flap 15 or 35 selected, and how the attitude is affected by aircraft weight.

Thanks in anticipation.

Flaps 15 approach is around zero degrees attitude.
Can't remember the flaps 35 (think its around -5)

15 degrees flap is right around zero pitch or maybe a tad nose up not by much though.

35 flap is probably 1 degree nose down.

I generally just fly ref+10 on approach and not really a specific pitch att. Those figures are for a Dash 100 the 300 is a bit more nose up on the app.

Great, thanks for the responses guys.

So as a profile on approach, VREF +10, for the -300, anything more than 1 degree or so pitch up would be inappropriate. Would this be a correct assumption?

Thanks again for your help
