The DHC6 Twin Otter has been added as a secondary aircraft to the E120 program. This short field aircraft is already in use by our brothers across the pond (AFVA/KLM) and will make your short airfield experiences enjoyable. Air France's codeshares in the Caribbean used this aircraft so we're happy to include it.

The JS32, the smaller brother of the JS41, is also added. The JS32 was flown by Northwest Airlink and Pan Am Express. The rating for this small turboprop can be obtained by requesting additional ratings in any stage 1 through 3 program.

Please feel free to post links to where we can get freeware aircraft and panels for these new additions! Enjoy!

Neither aircraft has the correct liveries, but I'm sure that can be changed. They also both have VCs.

Yisrael, you might want to link to the page with the download and not directly to the download file. Some site authors don't want their files direct linked. They want you go to their web site to click on a link.

Thanks for posting!

Thank you Andrew! I am sure Matt Lynn would be very happy with addition of the DHC-6 biggrin

I trust the aircraft list in the ACARS will be updated soon?

I believe you do the .update function and it'll update and add the aircraft to ACARS. ACARS links to our aircraft profiles section.

I'm probably going to get a dozen or so help desk issues "can't find the DHC6 in ACARS" so feel free to spread the word. smile

Thank you for new added aircraft, Andrew! I'm waiting for EMB-110. Do you have any plan for this tiny plane? You can find Comair serviced with this EMB-110. It's on first section of History.

Very nice addition Andrew. Thank you--it will bring back memories of college days as a line boy in Waterville, Maine. Air New England flew Twin Otters and DC-3s into little KWVL.
Now--how about the Viscount? (NEA flew them for a while in the early 60s)

Ok Jim. I know for next time. Also, can you refer me to a good program to create my own repaints?

I requested additional ratings in the CRJ program, and it added the JS32, but not the DHC-6. How can I get that added?

DHC-6 is EMB120.

So do we automatically have that rating and can fly the DHC-6, even though it is not in my list of aircraft?

I don't think so. I'm guessing I'm going to have to take the EMB120 CR frown

If you have not flown the EMB120 CR, you need to take it even if you have the EMB-120ER rating

Soonho Lee (DVA11591)

Posted onPost created on October 18 2015 01:29 ET by Greg Goodavish

Ok, thx. I guess I have to wait until I pass the 757 Captain test, as the system says I cannot get any more ratings right now.

May we use a DHC6 for the checkride, or do we need to download and install an EMB-120?

Morgan Smith

You will need to download the fleet EMB120 for the check ride

Soonho Lee (DVA11591)

Posted onPost created on December 27 2015 00:29 ET by Greg Goodavish

I would like to be able to fly the DHC6. I went to the Pilot Center and clicked on "Get additional ratings" button, and it said I cannot transfer to another program or get additional ratings. I am a captain in the 757 program. Any idea why?

Take the EMB-120 First Officer test first.

Do I have to take the E120 FO test if I do NOT want to transfer to the E120 program? I already have the E120 rating, just want to get an additional rating in the DHC6. I thought all I had to do was take the E120 CR.

Greg Goodavish

If you cannot request for the check ride, then you need to take the FO test and then request the check ride.
