The
Dash 8-100, a descendent of DeHavilland's earlier Dash 7,
was first put into airline service in 1984. The Dash 8-200
and 300 series, developed in the following years, have a
common type rating to the original 100 seriers, allowing
pilots trained in one series, to fly the other two as well.
As of 1994, the Dash 8 fleet had logged in more than 2 million
flight hours with a dispatch reliability exceeding 99 precent.
The
Dash 8-100 was manufactured by the Dehavilland company of
Canada.
