Bombardier Dash 8 Q400

The Bombardier De Havilland Canada Dash 8-Q400, commonly known as the Dash 8, is a series of single-aisle, short haul, turboprop-powered regional airliners, introduced by de Havilland Canada (DHC) in 1984. DHC was bought by Boeing in 1988, then Bombardier in 1992, then Longview Aviation Capital in 2019, reviving the De Havilland Canada name.

The DHC, Dash 8-400 under Bombardier, released the Series 400 design due to a market opening for new aircraft to release earlier turboprops. The Series 400 uses Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150A engines rated at 4,850 shp (3,620 kW). The aircraft has a cruise speed of 360 knots (667 km/h), which is 60–90 knots (111–166 km/h) higher than its predecessors, the Series 100, 200 and 300 aircraft. The Q-402 model is a 1999-designed variant with maximum capacity of 78 passengers.

In-Game History
On July 6, 2020, the Flightline Community received a snapshot of completed Q-402 models with all-white livery sitting at a revamped Connerview (the revamp was added in a late Beta 3 update), and has since received a variety of shots depicting the Q400 in-game. On August 8, 2021, the Q-402 was released in Update 0.4.53 along with the flightplanner.

Liveries
On December 23, 2020, JayManLive posted some snapshots of the aircraft with the Alaska Horizon livery on his official Twitter account and the Official Flightline Community Discord server. Later, on April 15, 2021, it was confirmed that the Q400 would be receiving a Flybe (currently defunct) livery. The Flybe livery was posted to Jay's Twitter, alongside a livery for PAL Express, Philippine Airlines' regional subsidiary, on May 19, 2021.
