What throttle setting setting should I use for takeoff on the Q400?

#1

I was curious of what throttle setting I should set for takeoff on the Q400 because it is a turboprop and behaves differently than a jet powered aircraft in IF?

Here’s a good source for most aircraft on Infinite Flight, the dash-8 Q400 is on this sheet.

How do people know to tag me for this?

90% is normal. 96% for MTOP (Max Takeoff Power), but it’s rarely used.
75% is a really good setting for realistic climb performance at 900rpm or 72% for 850rpm.

Hello there!

Alongside throttle during takeoff, I’d highly suggest taking a look at this professional document on the speeds and flaps when flying a DHC-8-400. It’s amazing and I encourage all of my VA to use it when flying this aircraft.
