DHC-8 question
I flew the airlines back from recurrent at FSI, and rode one leg on a Dash 8-300. Although I was seated aft of the props, It seemed very quiet.
I was curious as to the cruise RPM on a Dash?
(It was Dec. 22nd, the flight was late and needed to quick turn, so I did not bother the crew to ask.)

It's a PDT SOP for sure. (900 RPM for cruise) Other than that, I'm not too sure? Any Horizon, Island Air, Caribbean Star guys/gals want to chime in? Maybe even De Havilland/Bombardier people want to chime in?

I would be curious since you specified a PDT Dash. If it is not an aircraft SOP, is it a mod or something? For example, Raisbeck's prop mod for the BE-20 allows for a 1600 RPM cruise, instead of 1700.

Dash Pilots:
Thanks for the response guys:
How does the Dash fly? What does it do well and not so well?
Is it a typical deHavilland workhorse?
I know it is an old airplane that has been successful, but I was curious from a pilot standpoint.
