De Havilland Canada Dash 8

The Dash 8 across the Classic series and the -400, better known as the Q400.

Coverage

What is supported

Dash 8 operators fly into airfields where the runway, not the aircraft, is the limiting factor. Usable runways and intersections are computed for the actual registration in its current configuration, wet and contaminated cases carried alongside the dry result.

  • Dash 8-100, -200 and -300, plus the -400 (Q400)
  • Runway and intersection analysis for the actual registration
  • Wet and contaminated cases carried with the dry result

Calculations that work with no connectivity

Takeoff and landing performance is computed on the device itself. No connectivity is required at the aircraft, which is what makes the calculation dependable at an outstation or on a stand with no signal.

  • Takeoff and landing calculations computed on the device, with no connectivity required
  • Usable runways and intersections for the actual registration
  • MEL and CDL penalties applied inside the calculation
  • Every calculation logged and retained in DS JAWS
Weight & balance

One signed loadsheet for the crew

A Dash 8 can fly six or more sectors in a day, which means six or more loadsheets. Subscribing to the flight puts the figures on the sheet as they arrive, and multi-leg flights are linked to a single subscription rather than started again at every turnaround.

  • Built on the fleet data your administrators maintain and publish
  • Signed on the flight deck together with the NOTOC
  • Late changes recalculated and re-signed on the current edition
  • Every edition retained for audit

Flying the De Havilland Canada Dash 8?

We will show you the type running in our application, on your procedures and your fleet data. The rest of your fleet comes with it: our engine is not tied to a single data source, so a mixed fleet stays one workflow for the crew.
