Air Tindi dash-7.

It definitely does look like one of theirs, but it said British Antarctic Survey on the side of it.

It’s definitely BAS dash 7. I used to work for them.
ArcticHelix@reddit
I believe Tindi got one of their dash 7s from British Antarctic survey I believe it was one of those that I flew
plhought@reddit
No.
You're probably thinking of the red ex-Air Greenland Dash 7s.
BAS' Dash 7 is theirs.
railker@reddit
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/vp-fbq
Straight from maintenance in North Bay, probably headed down for the Antarctic summer season.
probablyaythrowaway@reddit
Owned by British Antarctic Survey. Flies between Falklands and Rothera station during the Antarctic summer. During the winter it goes up north to Canada for maintenance. BAS operate the dash 7 and a few twin otters in Antarctica all of which travel up to Canada for maintenance. Rocky Mountain maintain them.
The summer season in Antarctica is about to begin so they are probably getting ready to fly south.
Source: me I worked for BAS at Rothera station and I’ve flown their twin otters.

Correct_Inspection25@reddit
For Antarctic pretty much still need 4 engines for ETOPS of special missions that fair from other airports?
DeltaBlack@reddit
No, twin-engined aircraft are fine for antarctic operations. I looked into it when I read about an A340 landing there and usually the aircraft are on the smaller side. Think BAe 146 and similar up to (and including) B737 and A320. B787 have also landed there.
Quad-engined aircraft usually have the advantage that their certifications predate current EDTO/ETOPS rules and are grandfathered in but in theory every aircraft with the appropriate EDTO certification can land there (don't pin me down but I think it is something like 300 mintues - in any case a lot).
IIRC there are also a couple requirements that are arctic and antarctic specific. Like a back-up communication system because sat phones don't work properly down there.
alexrepty@reddit
A340s have four engines though. The A330 is the two engine version.
DeltaBlack@reddit
First I heard about an A340 landing in antarctica and then I looked into aircraft landing in antarctica. Does this clear things up?
joesnopes@reddit
In many ways the A340 is a 4-engined twin. The extra 2 engines are basically just engines.
alexrepty@reddit
Ah sorry, I misunderstood
DeltaBlack@reddit
No worries. I do have the confusing habit of mentioning extraneous information when recounting things.
Sgt_lovejoy@reddit
KBA out of Canada flies twin otters and baslers there during the summer. The majority of the Antarctic programs use c-130s, with America and Australia using c-17s. America also gets the LC-130. New Zealand also flies a 757.
The biggest requirement for flying from new Zealand is the range, c-130s have to make a hard desision for go/no go about halfway there because they don't have the endurance to turn around and fly back if the weather turns to crap.
Satellite phones are one of the most reliable methods of communication in Antarctica, and I knew a few people that were using a Garmin inreach for texting.
The biggest issue for navigation is grid vs magnetic. "grid north" is used for direction because when you're that far south, magnetic north is pretty much every direction.
PacSan300@reddit
As another twin-engine example, Icelandair flew a 767 to Antarctica at least once.
AintBeGotEatThat@reddit
Canadian engineer who does arctic work here. I fly with KBA/Aklak and use Buffalo, Lynden and Summit for freight.
We also use ATR72F for smaller loads.
Big stuff like construction and exploration equipment comes in on the C-130 or Electra though. It’s so fun bringing a plane like that into some of these areas.

Rowdyflyer1903@reddit
That tall T-tail is unusual for a plane which was built for STOL requirements. With no prop generated wind over the elevators true airspeed is all you have for pitch control. I wonder what airspeed is needed before enough elevator pitch authority is generated to pull the nose out of the muck. I also wonder if, in the event of asymmetrical engine loss, if enough rudder is available. I expect all these concerns would have been addressed in certification. She sure is pretty but maybe a handful
thatfastone@reddit
Why does he have crutches?
TheVoicesSpeakToMe@reddit
Interesting it’s taxing with it’s outboard engines and not inboard. I would imagine inboard would be safer with FOD in mind?
Chaxterium@reddit
It's simply because shutting down the inboards is quieter. That's really all there is to it.
Source: I flew the thing for almost 7 years. Loved every second of it!
TheVoicesSpeakToMe@reddit
That makes sense!
ifyoupeeinherbutt@reddit
Interesting thing I noticed is the different pitch. The inboard props are pitched for speed while the outers are set like they're taxiing, obviously. Did the inners land with that pitch? Or do they just rest that way when off?
Chaxterium@reddit
The inboard engines are already shut down in this video. Part of the After Landing checklist in the Dash 7 is to bring engines 2 and 3 to feather. Then after 1 or 2 minutes (I can't remember, it's been a while) they get shut down and we taxi in on the outboards.
ifyoupeeinherbutt@reddit
Makes sense, thanks for the explanation!
ryansnipes99@reddit
The inboard propellers are fully feathered before shutting down. They don't fly that way
droopynipz123@reddit
More leverage with outboard?
ryansnipes99@reddit
Yup that's exactly it. Outboard engines give more leverage in turns. Also the ground power plugs in behind the inboard engine so this way it keeps the ground crew away from the props.
Chaxterium@reddit
It's just because it's quieter in the cabin to shut down 2 and 3. Also the ground power receptacle is at the back of the number 3 nacelle.
I've taxied it on the inboards many times. It's perfectly fine.
LickingSmegma@reddit
Noob here. The propellers actually move the thing when on the ground? I thought this rpm wouldn't be enough for that, and they rotated just because the engines were turned on.
bozoconnors@reddit
Yep. rpm on camera can be deceiving via 'rolling shutter effect'. you're only getting 1 frame at a time while the props are constantly spinning. (they're spinning faster than it looks)
fun example time - get a strobe light & spin some beads / necklace around your finger. If you can spin the necklace the same rpm as the strobe flash instance, you can make it look like the beads are standing straight up / defying gravity
LickingSmegma@reddit
Thanks! I thought about the fps problem, but the rotation seemed too smooth, particularly when slowing down — usually the fps discrepancy would have the props stall, then spin backward, then slow down normally.
Btw, 'rolling shutter' is a bit different thing: it's when the camera scans the frame a line at a time, while the prop already moves further. This results in the blades looking curved.
bozoconnors@reddit
Weird flex. Doesn't know props move aircraft on ground... proceeds to correct an ex a/v pro on video terminology. ¯\(ツ)/¯
You are correct though. Upon further remembrance, would technically be classified as (via example) a simple stroboscopic effect.
plhought@reddit
The airplane is designed to land on unprepared 1300 ft strips of dirt, gravel, ice, you name it.
FOD is not the concern.
HortenWho229@reddit

Gotcha. ♡ Im seeing that now. LOL I last saw one around 1983, Please excuse an old woman in a mistake from excitement! 😊
Chaxterium@reddit
You are excused! lol
I had the pleasure of flying both the Twin Otter and the Dash 7. They are wonderful planes. De Havilland really knew what they were doing.
Ginggingdingding@reddit
I was lucky to see the twin otters daily and we had one of the last DC3s flying at the time. I got to be "flight attendant" on it a couple of times. Quite a ride!!
Gutter_Snoop@reddit
Not a Twotter. But I suppose you could call it a Quotter?
Ginggingdingding@reddit
I stand very corrected. Of course its A Quotter. LOL I failed "counting"!♡
theflyinfudgeman@reddit
Why 4
Chaxterium@reddit
It's a long story but when they designed the plane de Havilland thought they could make the plane quieter by using four engines with smaller propellers than a typical twin. They were right as it's quite quiet relatively speaking.
Also, having 4 engines allows for a shorter take off run as in the event of an engine failure there is less asymmetric thrust which allows for a lower Vr while maintaining a safe margin over Vmc.
theflyinfudgeman@reddit
Thx 4 the explanation !
Chaxterium@reddit
Anytime! This plane is a marvel of engineering. Such a cool plane. I miss it quite a bit.
jandeteam@reddit
Is this a confusing perspective? How is this balanced w no back wheel?
Chaxterium@reddit
The plane is designed to be nose heavy. But there is a tail stand that's used when loading and offloading the plane to prevent it from tipping.
The main cabin door is at the aft end of the plane so when everybody want to get of quick (say in the event of a rapid deplaning) there's a risk of the plane tilting onto its tail.
Gutter_Snoop@reddit
Four very large engines ahead of the CG provide a pretty stout counterbalance to all that tail cone.
Intelligent_Metal_62@reddit
Sorry, I don't know much about planes. The propellers on the inboard engines look like they have a really steep angle. Is there a design reason, or is it a trick of perspective?
beerblahblahblahbeer@reddit
I think they are fully feathered.
Chaxterium@reddit
Fully feathered and shut down.
Chaxterium@reddit
The inboard engines are shut down. Typically when turboprops are shut down the propeller blades go into the feathered position which is what you're seeing here.

I do believe that the UK uses DASH-8's to fly to the antarctic because they're absolutely amazing rock solid air frames. I love prop planes they have style. I have flown back from Antarctica in a DASH-8 sat on the floor (where everyone else was sitting, I wasn't being weird). It was a great little prop plane and taking off in an ice sheet was bucket list levels of amazing.
