Notes

Short range turboprop commuter airliner. In service since 1989. Stretched development of DHC-8-200. Exists in three basic forms: standard 300, 300A/B with higher gross weights and 300E. Further stretched version DHC-8-400. From 1996 all Dash 8s delivered with a computer controlled noise and vibration supression system. Type designation with a Q for quiet.
