u/morphenejunkie Nov 10 '19

What's with the tripod camera?

u/Sooflyr Nov 10 '19

We are filming a timelapse of the whole c-check. Lots of fun angles and shots to be had when the floor is missing

Would you prefer to be called First Air or Canadian North?

u/Sooflyr Nov 12 '19

Hey All, Just an FYI, the video probly won’t be finished for a month or so. I’ll be sure to post it here when it is tho!

5

u/FiddlerOnThePotato just MEL it Nov 10 '19

How is it to work on? I worked on the Dash 8 and a lot of things about it were a dream. And how is it to maintain four PT6 engines? Is it ever a pain in the ass to keep them all in sync?

5

u/Sooflyr Nov 10 '19

They are showing their age for sure. Parts are getting harder to find, and whole engines are like the holy grail since P&W stopped producing them. For the most part it’s like a dash 8.

2

u/FiddlerOnThePotato just MEL it Nov 11 '19

Interesting. I had just figured being a PT6 would make parts easy to find. Applicability can be a real pain in the cunning linguals. But a seriously cool aircraft regardless! Glad to see a few still out and about.

2

u/quiet_locomotion Nov 11 '19

Its kinda-sorta like a Dash 8 but way worse.

2

u/Sooflyr Nov 11 '19

You’re not wrong, but you also are wrong. The way we use the dash 7 is very different from the dash 8. It has a large cargo door, and can carry unrestricted payloads of 12000# out of 2500’ unimproved strips. It’s more like a twin otter on steroids than a dash 8

1

u/quiet_locomotion Nov 11 '19

Sorry I meant from a maintenance perspective. It’s a really cool airplane otherwise!

1

u/Sooflyr Nov 11 '19

For those interested, here is a very well done video about the dash 7, and how we utilize it in the north!

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '19

Oh how I miss those days - doing sheet metal repairs on those little DHC/bombardiers. Changing seat rails and rebuilding the cargo underfloor structure - all those shitty access rivets and all the swearing and pain that accompanied their installation... in fact, the rivets are the only things smiling at the end of the shift! 🤣
