SwissCyul Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 Hey. I just bought the Dash8-Q400 and its a wonderful aircraft. But how does the autopilot control the speed with the throttle. IAS only controls the speed with the trim. But this is not really good for approaches. Is there any way to engage the auto throttle or does the Dash8 don't have an auto throttle. Please help Quote
BWolf7 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 The Dash doesn't have one. IAS is like flight level change. 1 Quote
