QantasLink Dash 8-400 Canberra to Melbourne Flight Review - Canberra Airport's busiest route!

Canberra Airport has seperate Standard Instrument Departures procedure for jet aircraft and non-jet aircraft. Today I'm flying on a QantasLink Dash 8-400 aircraft. When departing from runway 35, jet aircraft have to track 353° until passing waypoint GUTMO and 7000ft whereas non-jet aircraft only needs to track 353° until passing 3400ft.

Dash 8 as a turboprop can turn left at 3400ft which provides a much closer view of Canberra City. So let's get onboard and enjoy the view of this beautiful city from above!!
