The Dash 8 Q400 has been officially rolled out as part of the Infinite Flight Fleet. For many, learning to fly a turboprop in Infinite Flight is a new and exciting challenge.  Here to help us today is real world Dash 8 pilot, Ard Jan. Ard Jan was a big part of the testing and refining of the Dash 8 with the Flying Development Studio guys so Jason and Mark couldn’t pass up the chance to ask some practical questions.
