1 AEROPLANE GENERAL
12.1.1 Introduction
The Dash 8-Q400 is a high wing aeroplane manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace with shared
interests from several partners (Figure 12.1-1). It is powered by two 5071 shaft horsepower PW
150A turboprop engines. Each engine drives a six bladed propeller. The Dash 8 is a two pilot
transport category aeroplane approved for instrument flight and in SAS versions approved for
operation to a maximum altitude of 25,000 feet.
In SAS versions the aeroplane seats from 58 to 72 passengers and two cabin crew members in
addition to the pilot, copilot, and flight observer. In SAS version It has a maximum take-off mass
of:
27987 kg (Basic Gross Mass)
28998 kg (Intermediate Gross Mass)
29257 kg (High Gross Mass)
The aeroplane has an Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system.
12.1.2 General
The fuselage (Figure 12.1-1) is constructed in three main parts:
Forward
Center
Aft
The forward section includes the flight deck, which has the majority of controls, instruments, and
indications. Circuit breaker panels are located on the flight deck aft bulkhead, and behind the
pilot's and copilot's seats.
There is a forward baggage compartment on the right forward part of the fuselage, and an aft
baggage compartment forward of the aft pressure bulkhead. Both baggage doors open outwards
and can only be opened from the outside. The passenger compartment doors and one type II/III
exit can be opened from either the inside or outside.

Towing Switch
Description.
The TOW-NAV Lt Switch is a standard 2-position switch with a Guard that forces it to NORMAL
(the other is TOWING).
In addition there is a 7,5 Amp Circuit Breaker for the Power.
Power is taken directly from the main battery at a point behind the DC CONTROL panel and feed
via the TOW Circuit Breaker & Switch to a point behind the EXTERIOR LIGHTS panel.
The towing personnel shall only flip the guard and place the switch in TOW.
After towing is done, the guard is closed and the Switch goes to normal.

12.1.4 Description
12.1.4.1 Aeroplane Dimensions
The Dash 8 Q400 has a wing span of 28.42 m and a length of 32.83 m (Figure 12.1-18). The six
bladed propellers are 4.12 m in diameter, and clears the fuselage by 1.1 m). The wheel track is
8.80 m and the nose wheel to main wheel distance is 13.94 m. Using a nose steering of 70
requires a minimum 25.7 m of pavement for a 180 turn (Figure 12.1-19).
The height to the bullet fairing, on top of the vertical stabilizer is about 8.26 m depending on the
aeroplane loading. The height to the wing tips is about 3.9 m.
12.1.4.2 Structural Design
The airframe structure is made from high strength aluminum alloys. The fuselage skins are
chemically milled and riveted to stringers and frames. Steel structural alloy is used in the landing
gear and certain airframe components. Other structural components are made from various
approved aluminum, steel or titanium materials. Magnesium is used in selected interior regions
of the flight deck, cabin and engine.
Composite panels include the:
Radome (Fiberglass/honeycomb core)
Nose Equipment Bay (Aramid fiber)
Wing to Fuselage Fairings (Fiberglass)
Tailcone (Aramid fiber)
Tailcone with optional APU (Titanium)
Bullet Fairing (Mybrid composite Glass/Aramid fiber)
Dorsal Fin (Mybrid composite Glass/Aramid fiber)
Stabilizer leading edge (Aramid fiber covered by rubber de-ice boots)
Ice Protection Panels
12.1.5 Forward Section
12.1.5.1 Nose
The nose is in front of the forward pressure bulkhead. It contains the nose wheel well and an
unpressurized equipment deck, and the weather radar radome.
12.1.5.2 Flight Deck
The flight deck extends from the forward pressure bulkhead to a fixed bulkhead aft of the flight
crew seats. The windshield panels are laminated glass and the side window panels are a combi-
nation of laminated glass and plastic.

12.1.6 Wings
A single, high aspect ratio, cantilevered wing is joined to the upper midsection of the fuselage
(Figure 12.1-20), and includes:
Integral fuel tanks
Nacelles and main gear mounting structures
Ailerons
Flaps
Spoilers
The portions of the wing outboard of the engine nacelles are tapered and have a 2.5 dihedral.
Pneumatic deicer boots are installed on the leading edges of the center wing sections and out-
board from the landing lights. The wing has single slotted flaps extending from the side of the
fuselage to inboard of the ailerons.
Conventional ailerons are installed for lateral control and work with differential lateral control
spoilers on the upper wing skin. The spoilers also have a ground mode. When set the spoilers
extend on landing to reduce lift.

12.1.7 Centre Section
The passenger cabin has a constant cross-section and bulkheads with a slightly flattened bottom
(Figure 12.1-22).
12.1.8 AFT Section
The aft section is unpressurized and is swept up from the center section. It consists of the rear
pressure dome and the supporting structure for the empennage. This area houses the air condi-
tioning packs and the APU. There is access to the interior of the aft fuselage section for inspec-
tion and maintenance.
Empenage
The empennage has a horizontal stabilizer with separate right and left elevators, and a vertical
stabilizer with fore and trailing rudders. The empennage is mounted on the aft fuselage section
(Figure 12.1-21).
Horizontal Stabilizer
The fixed incidence horizontal stabilizer is attached to the top of the vertical stabilizer. The lead-
ing edges are made from composite material and have pneumatic deicer boots bonded to them.
Elevators
Both elevators normally operate together, but can function independently if the pitch disconnect
system is operated. The elevators are hydraulically operated with artificial feel. Hydraulic actua-
tors are used for trimming.
Vertical Stabilizer
The vertical stabilizer and rearmost portion of the fuselage are constructed as one piece. The
leading edge is made from composite material and has a pneumatic deicer boot, with two cham-
bers, bonded to it. A composite bullet fairing is installed on top of the vertical stabilizer.
Rudder
The rudder has a fore and trailing section. The fore rudder is hinged to the rear vertical stabilizer
spar and the trailing rudder is hinged to the trailing edge of the fore rudder. The trailing rudder is
geometrically arranged to give a deflection twice that of the fore rudder. Two hydraulically pow-
ered actuators operate the rudder.
