Cessna 402 Landing
Landing at Robinson River in Northern Territory, Australia.
Joe and I flew from Alice Springs in 402's to pick up kids in the community and take them back to Alice Springs for school.
It was a long day that started at 4:20am and got back at 2:10pm, this time of year is good, the cold mornings make flying smooth and with the heater on, auto pilot engauged and a hot flask of mocha I was in my element.
Hope you enjoy the video.

A walk through on starting up the cessna 402. Some items may be different from you company proceedures and the POH however all items are completed nevertheless. I hope you enjoy this video as it is my first and i plan to make many more in the near future. I would appreciate any feed back on the video how it could be improved. I plan to make a complete walkthrough on the 402 rangeing from normal...

    Of course it's filthy, it's UBZ ! I was looking at this and thought it reminded me of that aircraft; in the other video ... there was the callsign 😱 I flew that 2005-6 in Darwin. It used to be owned by MAF in Arnhemland for their RPT prior to 2005, and it flew there for years. I think they cleaned it once. We got it after they sold it and it was the only aircraft ever where I've washed my hands when I climbed out of it, and I then spent about 4 hours cleaning it, and it wasn't too bad. This video was taken in 2011, 6 years later. The thing had returned to it's prior state so I guess it's just a dirt magnet. I wonder where it is now.

      lol... I just checked, it looks like it's still kicking around Alice Springs (as of the 22nd Feb according to Flight Aware). I'm sure it still hasn't been cleaned 😂

      @@ipilot84 I think ChartAir has it, so it will probably be there forever. Their fleet looks pretty much the same as it did in 2006.

    Damn, I can’t remember doing all other things except starting the engines and pushing the throttle to get it to move on the way to runway then to take off! I did that in a Cessna 401A as a 13 years old waaaay back in 1975 under supervision of my dads good friend Paul. It was waaaaay long time ago. I did a take off and landed the 401A which is similar to 402C on my own with Paul watching me on co pilot seat at a Kenosha Airport only a one way around trip. Thanks for the showing it on video. It brings me memories.

    Cessna 402C mechanic here. Good showing on how to start it up! I don't use quite as much primer as you did here. (I cut it off around 70-80). But it worked perfectly fine, didn't hear any afterfiring. So all is well!

  • @StevieWonder737
    @StevieWonder737 Před 2 lety

    Why does it take so long for the oil pressure to rise after start? The oil temp is understandable, but I would think you should get near immediate oil pressure increase.

      Hi Stefano, I did have plans on making a whole range of videos on the 402 but shortly after making these two videos I left the company to work for a bigger and better company. I have made a number of videos on the dash 8 but due to company restrictions I can't publish them on the internet. Maybe one day

    i grew up in 402 and 421 flying with my old man. only different thing he did was throttles were full open and reduced as the engine came to life . his reason is smoother quicker start and the other throttle is out of the way

  • @BaronBoy100
    @BaronBoy100 Před 13 lety

    @quiteactually The chief engineer of one company I flew for also instructed us to start the engines with the alternators off. His reason was that the battery was the cheapest part of the starter system so it was better to start the engines with the alternators off rather than risk damaging them during the start.

  • @BaronBoy100
    @BaronBoy100 Před 13 lety

    @cessna207 The battery in a C402 is in the left wing root. Therefore, it is a shorter run for the electrical lead from the battery to the left engine and there is less resistance.

  • @castor5pollax
    @castor5pollax Před 13 lety

    Well done video! Very clear instruction.

  • @ipilot84
    @ipilot84 Před 13 lety

    @quiteactually, I'm also curious as to why some engine types are started with alternators off as opposed to on? Even though the POH for the 402 says to have them on for engine start, our engineers always instructed pilots to start with the alternators off and turn them on after start. I always assumed it was to avoid overloading the alternator as the second engine was started, as a precaution.

    • @ronaldrime5286
      @ronaldrime5286 Před 7 lety

      Aero Plane how well can the 402b fly with one engine, especially during takeoff? Just curious.

  • @quiteactually
    @quiteactually Před 13 lety

    The alternators remain on for normal battery start, however are turned off when started with external power. The POH has you starting the left engine first since it's closer to the battery, however in many cases the battery is moved to the nose for CG purposes.

    Hey guy's, sorry I have not had a chance to make more video's yet, I've moved on from my 402 job. I'm flying for a regional airline in Aus, its been flat out. When I get a chance I'll try make some more tech videos on the dash 8-400, The company has a policy of no cameras during flight in the flight deck but I'll see what i can come up with. Shouldn't take to long to get some videos happening. Thanks for being patient
