INTRODUCTION
Island Air is a small inter-island carrier in the Hawaiian Islands. It is owned and operated under Aloha Air Group. Island Air operates three Dash-6-300's and four Dash-8-102's (I think). They fly to Honolulu, Kahulu'i, Kapalua, Hana, Keahole-Kona, and Lana'i City. It was originally set up as Princeville Airways on Kaua'i, but in th mid 1980's, it was bought out by Aloha Airlines, which was starting to focus on inter-island service after trying out Hawaii-Taipei routes.
Many thanks to Barry for letting us repaint his wonderfull DHC-6 Twin Otter!

Landing Lights Added using "Aircraft Animator".

night time they will illuminate the runway.
*** Steerable Nose gear added in this update ***
Aircraft Data:
Wingspan: 65'3"
Length : 53'8"
Height : 19'6"
Weight : Empty 7,4150 lbs / Maximum Take off 12,500 lbs
Speeds : Max Cruise 190 Kts / High speed cruise 180 Kts
Eco Cruise 172 Kts ( all KIAS ).
Stall
Speed : Clean - 74 Kts
Dirty - 58 Kts ( with full Flaps )
Power : Two 652 SHP P&W Canada PT6A-27 Turboshaft Engines
driving Hartzell 3 blade 8'-4" Dia Propellers.
Fuel : 400 Gal ( real life )
330 Gal ( FS model - giving room for pax and goods )
Range : 700 Nautical Miles approx.
Rate of Climb: 1,500 FPM at MSL. ( real life )
( FS model - see below )
Ceiling : Approx. 21,000 ft A few words from Jens Borgstroem re. the handling and such.
Here's a few facts and figures :
Speeds:
-------
Max speed VNE set to: 235 KIAS and 40 Mach
Fast cruise ( not max. ) is 182-190KIAS
Ord. / eco. cruise is 165 - 172KIAS
At FL 210 these are the figures:
N1 = 98 pct approx.
Spd = 172KIAS / 39Mach
Approach ( eg. og std 3* glideslope ):
--------------------------------------
approx. 20 NM out - reduce speed to round 150 KIAS
approx. 10NM out - set first flap and reduce to 125 ( comes by itself )
approx. 7NM out - set next flap and reduce to 110
approx. 4NM out - set full flaps and reduce to 90-100, and let the speed
wear off so on final you 'float in' at round 90 over threshold and 83
on touchdown ( on final possibly third notch flaps ).
Slight flare is necessary at touchdown.
On approach she is comming in rather flat, like the real bird.
