Introduction The SAAB 340 is a two-engine turboprop aircraft that originated from a partnership between Saab and Fairchild. Saab originally built the fuselage and fin and did the final assembly, while Fairchild was responsible for the wings, empennage, and engine nacelles. First designated as the SF340, the aircraft made its maiden flight back in 1983. When Fairchild moved out of aircraft manufacturing in 1984, the designation was changed to 340A. An improved version, the 340B, introduced more powerful engines and a wider tailplane in 1989. The final version, the 340B Plus, included improvements that were being built into the Saab 2000 at the same time, and was rolled out in 1994. One of these improvements was an active noise control system in the cabin, greatly reducing noise levels to the passengers. Another change from earlier models was a rearrangement of the interior layout giving an increase in the available cargo space. The SAAB 340 typically seats between 30 and 35 passengers. The military variant is the Saab 340 AEW & C, which is an electronic surveillance aircraft. As a result of slow sales, production ended in 2005.
Aircraft From the outside, the Saab 340 looks very good. The external features have a very crisp appearance, particularly the undercarriage and stairs, and it's convincing down to the level of the rivets and the small logos on the engine nacelle and props. The observant will notice that the real-life tailstand is missing, but that's a relatively small item. FFS have used something called "Dynamic Shine" and it certainly produces a good reflection effect without being too strong. Overall, it's a very convincing plane in Spot View or on a walk-round.
The Panels The 2D panel of the Saab 340 comes with a number of sub-panels, as would be expected from a typically "busy" turboprop layout. Both the Pilot and the First Officer have an IFR and a VFR panel, the latter allowing more visibility over the glareshield. Then there are the overhead panels (front and rear), centre console panels (front and rear), engine instrument panel and radio panel. Then there are a number of "pop-up" panels, that either enlarge instruments on the panel (for example the EADI), or show instruments that are not on the panel (for example the GPS or the Audio Control Panel)
Turning to the VC, again it's a subjective impression but while it is marginally better than the 2D, it still has a somewhat lifeless appearance. It's more or less fully-clickable, and it is possible to fly completely from the VC, although there are more usability issues that I'll come to later. However one thing that may catch you out is that while the throttle and condition levers both visibly move in the 2D panel, in the VC the condition levers don't move. Apparently this part of the system was not completed when the product was put on the market. The VC also suffers from some of the same problems as the 2D panel - legibility of autopilot and centre console. Those perspective problems with switches are of course exaggerated when looking at the overhead from the "wrong" angle - the effect is a little bizarre.
