message: :High speed cruise	289 kts / 535 km/h
The article is ambiguous about whether this is indicated airspeed or true airspeeed. They can be significantly different. -Rolypolyman (talk) 04:25, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not detailed in the ref. As it is a marketing brochure showing capabilities, it should be TAS for route planning, not IAS/CAS for operations.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 06:15, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect it would be TAS in a marketing doc, not IAS, which would be normally only found in a POH. - Ahunt (talk) 12:00, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

message: Bombardier has sold the Q400 division to Viking Air, so the page should be renamed. 24.108.52.198 (talk) 16:39, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Per the press release in the article "The sale and transaction are expected to close by the second half of 2019.". We will rename the article when it has been bought, not when someone has said they intend to buy it. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 16:51, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it is too soon. - Ahunt (talk) 16:55, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, we don't generally rename an article in such cases immediately after the sale. This is due to WP:COMMONNAME. It's a case by case decision anyway, and needs to be done through the RM process. - BilCat (talk) 19:13, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would even support a de Havilland Canada Dash 8 rename. Note that if BBD sold it, it is because the program has almost flatlined. If I was Viking, given their portfolio, I would go ahead and rename myself de Havilland Canada or Canadair!--Marc Lacoste (talk) 20:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd rename Viking as "de Havilland Canadair". :) - BilCat (talk) 21:45, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not yet. Let them announce any name changes officially first, similar to the Bombardier C Series becoming the Airbus A220.Mirza Ahmed (talk) 04:46, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Although the -400 is the most widespread variant, it's perhaps not the most representative of the whole series, being the longest. Maybe the midsize -300 would be more adapted, showing the same features: same nose, T-tail, long engine nacelles, tall landing gear, etc.; almost the same except for the longer tube: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc Lacoste (talk • contribs)

:Given that Q400 production accounts for half of all Dash-8s built, it may be most appropriate to have the Q400 as the infobox image. - Ahunt (talk) 15:07, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay then, if we keep a Q400, the current Flybe one mybe less interesting than some alternatives:

message: Hi all. My recent edit was reverted  and an editor asserted "failed verification". My edit is based on the following according to citation when David Curtis explained the difficulties of bringing back legacy Dash 8: "What a lot of people don’t understand is that the Dash 8, the legacy airplanes and the 400 are very different airplanes. Different manufacturing techniques, legacy airplanes are all bonded panels and skin, and the other ones are chem milled. It’s a very different airplane. They kinda look like they’re similar, but it’s a separate production line." What's wrong with my edit? Thanks.-–-Now wiki (talk) 16:19, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

message: I note that Horizon has stopped using the Q400 in favour of Embraer jets in January 2023.
I expected this article to tell me when the various carriers started and stopped using this airplane, and how large their fleets are. Anybody up to the challenge? Ronstew (talk) 02:51, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: To add that sort of information we would need to have references to cite. Do you have any? - Ahunt (talk) 02:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
