The de Havilland Mosquito was one of the most remarkable combat aircraft of the Second World War; the most striking feature of the aircraft was its construction.
The pinnacle of the de Havilland Canada STOL family was the four-engine de Havilland Canada Dash 7 which remains unrivalled because of its impressive STOL performance and low noise capabilities.
Before the end of the Second World War, de Havilland Canada built 1,134 Mosquitos, of which 444 were on strength with the RCAF in models Bomber Mk VII through Trainer Mk 29 from 1 June 1943 to 28 September 1951.

  De Havilland Canada Dash 8 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
De Havilland Canada had invested heavily in their Dash 7 project in the 1970s, creating what was essentially a larger four-engine version of their De Havilland Twin Otter (or DASH 6), concentrating on excellent STOL and short-field performance, their traditional area of expertise.
De Havilland responded in 1980 by dropping the short-field performance requirement, and adapting the basic DASH 7 layout to be powered by two more powerful engines.
Notable features of the Dash 8 design are the large T-tail intended to keep the tail free of propwash during takeoff, a very high aspect ratio wing, the elongated engine nacelles also holding the rearward-folding landing gear, and the pointed nose profile.

 De Havilland Canada Dash 8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The de Havilland Canada DHC-8, popularly known as the Dash 8, is a series of twin-turboprop airliners designed by de Havilland Canada in the early 1980s.
De Havilland responded in 1980, by dropping the short-field performance requirement and adapting the basic DASH 7 layout to be propelled by only two engines that produced more power.
The Dash 8 was introduced at a particularly advantageous time; most airlines were in the process of adding new aircraft to their fleet as the airline industry expanded greatly in the 1980s.

 Air Taxi UK virtual - De Havilland Canada DHC8-300 Dash 8
De Havilland Canada (now part of Bombardier) launched full scale development of a 50 seat stretched version of its Dash 8 regional airliner during 1986, approximately two years after the standard fuselage length aircraft had entered service.
The first series 300 aircraft was in fact the prototype Dash 8 converted to the new length, and it flew for the first time in its new configuration on May 15 1987.
Like the Dash 8Q-200, all Dash 8-300s built since the second quarter of 1996 have been fitted with a computer controlled noise and vibration suppression system (or NVS) and so from then all models were designated Dash 8Q-300s.

 De Havilland Canada Dash 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The de Havilland Canada DHC-7, popularly known as the Dash 7, is a turboprop-powered regional airliner with STOL capabilities.
de Havilland Canada was already well known for their series of high-performance STOL aircraft, notably the very popular Twin Otter.
To meet this restriction, the new design used oversized propellers geared to spin at a slower speed than normal; much of the sound from a propeller is generated at the tips which are spinning near the speed of sound, and therefore, by reducing the number of RPM this noise goes away.

Bombardier's 70 seat de Havilland Dash 8 Series Q400 (or Q400 for short) is the latest and longest member of the successful Dash 8 family, but with new engines, avionics and systems, a modified wing and stretched fuselage is essentially an all new aeroplane.
De Havilland was already working on a further stretch of the Dash 8 when Bombardier acquired the company from Boeing in 1992, although the program was not formally launched until June 1995.
The fuselage's cross section and structure is based on the earlier Dash 8's but with two entry doors at the forward and aft ends of the fuselage on the left side, with emergency exit doors opposite them on the right side.

De Havilland's response was the DHC-4 Caribou, a twin-engine plane capable of carrying 30 soldiers or four tons of cargo.
In 1998, the Dash 8-300 got the same noise reduction and interior upgrades as the Dash 8-100 and was renamed the Q300.
The Dash 8-200 was designed to meet the need for a plane which shared the compact dimensions of the Dash 8-100, but had offered more speed and payload weight.

The regional carrier is wholly owned by Air Canada and it flies to destinations in Canada and the United States using the De Havilland Canada Dash 8 and Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet aircraft.
In February 2005, Air Canada announced that it would shift much of its flying from its own mainline and regional jets to Air Canada Jazz's planes in cities across Canada and the U.S. The move was controversial, since it essentially shifted high paying Air Canada jobs to lower wage Jazz positions.
The switch to Jazz service means the elimination of Air Canada jet flights to Charlottetown, Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton, Québec City, Regina, Saskatoon, Thunder Bay, and Whitehorse.

 Dash 8 History
The Bombardier (nee de Havilland Canada [DHC]) Dash 8-Q400 is the latest in a long line of high-wing propeller and turboprop aircraft sucessfully produced by this Canadian company.
Indeed, advancment in turboprop technology means that this latest version of the Dash 8 matches - and in some cases surpasses - the performance of the moderen regional jets in terms of speed, cabin noise and, certainly, fuel economy.
As a development of the earlier Dash 8 family the Q400 benifits from having a common type rating for pilots with the Q300, along with very similar maintenance procedure and common spares.

Designing aircraft for the harsh terrain of Northern Canada such as the Buffalo and the Caribou, as well as aircraft to serve coastal communities such as the Beaver and Otter, both of which are still flying today, deHavilland Canada filled a niche market, producing some top notch aircraft.
So when I jumped behind the yoke of the Dash 8 and took off, I quickly (very quickly) realized that flying this aircraft is going to require easing up on the controls.
With the Dash 8 though, there are a series of other steps that have to be completed (such as turning invertors on) so it's a good idea to go through the manual.

While the onus is on a pilot to ensure adequate terrain clearance, the clearance issued to the crew by the controller did not comply with the provisions of MATS.
