Dehavilland-DASH8 is coded as which?

• A. DH8
• B. C130
• C. SF34
• D. DH8D

Answer: (D)

The way aircraft are coded in these questions relies on a compact manufacturer-model designation, with an extra letter added to specify a particular variant. For the De Havilland Dash 8 family, the generic tag is DH8, which identifies the Dash 8 line. But to denote a specific variant, especially the widely used -400 series, the code adds a final letter, giving DH8D. This makes the code precise enough to distinguish the Dash 8-400 from earlier Dash 8 versions. The other options don’t fit because they point to completely different aircraft (a C-130 Hercules or a Saab 340) or would be too generic to uniquely identify the Dash 8.
