I've fueled many ATR aircraft... It's a cool plane......

I work as an aircraft mechanic on ATR 42. One of the things which amaze me is that it does not have any hydraulic assistance for main flight controls (There are, however, hydraulic spoilers which move together with ailerons), instead using variety of aerodynamic tricks to ease forces on the yoke. One less thing to wrong I guess.

00:04 that random F-15 trolling around tho

My favorite airplane.nice to fly and very efficient.great for short runways,works very good with passengers and cargo.I flew the ATR family from 1990 to 2013 in the Caribbean for American Eagle.very good experience.👍👍👍✈️✈️👌👌🥇🥇

Once I followed an Azul ATR-72 that took off from Recife and landed on the Cabo verde... that little bastard crossed the atlantic.

I once flew on an ATR 42 with American Eagle in 1992, from Raliegh Durham to Charlotte NC. The thing I noticed was that it was somewhat less noiser than most turboprop airliners. It appeared to have thicker cabin insulation that somewhat muffled the low pitched drone that's produced by the props. My girlfriend gave it the nickname, "The Whisperprop". I wish that Boeing 737s and Airbus A 300's were turboprop instead of conventional fan jet, Though a bit slower, turboprops are more fuel efficient than fan jet engines. I also love the sound that the props make, the "Box Fan" sound full ground idle and taxiing, and the "Bumblebee" sound in takeoff and inflight. Some say driving a manual transmission vehicle is "Real Driving". I say flying in a propeller driven airliner is "Real Flying"!

Started my part 121 career on the ATR back 1994. Nothing but really good memories of this aircraft.

I have traveled on both ATR 42 and 72. These are reliable and comfortable.

Staple of Indonesian regional aviation. In fact one of the largest operator of the -72 is an Indonesian airline. Because my country is an archipelago

The ATR is a great aircraft for making money and keeping people employed. It asks a bit of one's handling skills near the ground but with good training and some and ice-awareness it will lift a lot, burn very little and open new routes. A reliable platform with a long future ahead. Edit: according to Wiki, the major icing event was an American company in 1994. I suspect back then ice awareness training was not mandatory, and has caused many crashes in many aircraft, most commonly from not dealing with it in a certain way and timely manner. Also, icing conditions involved in that flight were severe, and to the best of my knowledge no aircraft are certified to fly in severe icing. 'TransAsia Airways' makes up roughly half of all accidents in the ATR, which does not help the ATR's reputation. Thanks Skyships!

Ive flown on ATR 42 and 72 with Stobart Air (Aer Lingus Regional). Very smooth and comfy

I have flown on TAP's ATR-72 and SATA Air Azores Q400, Q800 and the old ATP... They are all nice but the the ATR has the most modern cabin. From outside it kind os looks dated with the high wing but inside is very modern and comfortable. I really enjoy flying Porto to Lisbon on these little things. So quiet and views are so much better than on a jet plane!

OHHH YES! After watching your last vid, I was really anticipating a video about the ATR series of aircraft, and you really delivered. Great work!

@4:16 really smoooth landing!

A nice upgrade of the ATR-72 from the ATR-42 is how the fuel hose connects. ATR-42 is under the wing, ATR-72 is behind the wheel well.

A true tiny legend. Check the Tarom and Air Serbia (former Jat Airways) current fleet. Those jets have been flying for almost 3 decades. Impeccable safety and truly reliable.

Hey, great video, thank you for putting it on. I work on the propellers for these aircraft so it's nice to watch stuff about them in operation (but don't tell anyone I said that)! Been on many ATR flights, the best are always with Blue Island / Aurigny in the Channel Islands, normally a very bumpy landings, which I love 😎 flight crews are always very friendly & helpful.

One of my favorite childhood moments was crossing the Alps with Air Dolomiti's ATRs. Those were the days

This channel should have more than 1 million subscribers Great effort as usual

Awesome video! Real in-depth research and brought in a pleasant way!

They can be tricky for inexperienced pilots or those with limited intelligence. Crosswind TOGO or landings can be challenging. The wing surface area is designed for fuel efficiency, not maximum lift and low speed flight. Redesigned wings that are longer and larger would make it better.

I actually stayed til the end. Very informative. Thank you!

at 6:13 when he said "where they are still in operation" as soon as he says "still" a small vehicle appears that has "still" written on it.. what a coincidence..

Good evening and thanks for the vid mate!

Always a plethora of information on the planes you cover. I am not a pilot in aviation at all I just love planes.

Great video! You do a great job putting these together.

I already knew all the details about ATR but still watched the video till end because I love ATR. Respect & ❤️ for ATR from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Keep up the good work. I enjoy catching the videos.

I prefer the ATR since in my location. I got loads of ATR and I love the shape sooo

You are the best man. I have watched all your videos.

keep up the awesome vids sky your videos are awesome and always full of good information

As always.. nice video.. interesting and informative!! thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks! As always, great video!

Thank you sir! Great video. Was waiting to learn of this less well known maker and plane

31 dislikes by Bombardier

Handsome looking planes indeed these ATR~42/72 ... Thank You So Much for the efforts & sharing! Stay Safe & Stay Humble! 🕯🌷🌿🌍

Thank You Skyships Eng. You didn't t make us wait.

I been waiting for this video for a long time👍👍

Wonderful video, as usual.

Great job as always Sky!! 😉👍👍✌

ATR... a living proof that the French and Italian can and do work together.. (they should come up with Spaghetti with escargot next).. !!

finally was waiting for this!!

Excellent video! Thank you!

Many ATR 42/72 operate here in the Caribbean. Great video!

Always well done!

Thank you for a nice video. There are a few inaccuracies about "hotel mode" and the engine type used in the -600 variants, but the overall impression is good. Thank you again!

I love these planes. Flew as a passenger around New Caledonia. A very fun plane to fly on.

Lovely content as always :)

Superb montage, I love turboprops even if they have noisy cabins.

I’ve flown in a 42-600 by Eva Air, it felt very comfortable, looked very modern and clean, certainly a nice plane in that aspect at least!

Hey Skyships! I really enjoy your videos, always interesting with plenty of facts included. Since you've done videos for the Dash 8 and the ATR, how about a video for the fastest commercial turbo-prop, the SAAB 2000? Technically its head and shoulders above the 2 previously mentioned types in terms of performance but a video from you telling the story of why only 60+ were built etc.. would be really cool!

The ATR 72 was the only turboprop my mom and I flew on. Before flying on that turboprop, she refused to fly on propeller and turboprop airplanes and would rather fly on passenger jets. Even after having an experience onboard the ATR 72 with Cebu Pacific back in 2019, we never liked it because of the uncomfortable seats and small overhead bins too small that we had to check in bags. However, we got what we paid for because Cebu Pacific is a budget airline along with its branch Cebgo. Even if that experience wasn't enjoyable because we never felt safe in that type of plane, turboprops shouldn't go obsolete because those planes would only make sense to be utilized in small airports that have shorter runways and limited service.

Thanks sky!! Maybe dc-9 or md-80 next? Really greats vids

Very Informative Video

Another awesome video... Thank you:) Great french and italian accent too..!!

Fantastic Video👍

My father was chief head captain and chief head instructor on the ATR42 and ATR72 and contributed to tests in Helsinki for ATR72. Before that he was flying the FOKKER! And ended up on MD80 He once took me around a 7 day trip landing the ATR72 in Venice/Milan/Frankfurt /Paris/Florence/Naples and Rome , ill never forget that! And i also had the chance to fly it... on a simulator of course. Hehe

Flown on ATRs many times. Terrific aircraft.

Great introduction to ATR aircraft.

Good Video!

Next: Fokker 27 and 50? Actually, F50 has a special place in my childhood, my old house used to be near my local airport, and at the back of my house, I would watch the plane landing/takeoff by the window, I was so familiar to them that I was very familiar with their flight pattern, and most importantly, F50 is the plane that got me interested in aviation, and of course, I flew with them in quite a number.

Watching Binter ATR-600s in and out of Lanzarote this morning! As during the entire 90 day volcano event... The Canaries inter island jumps are a big market for the plane. Impressive! J.C.

Awesome !!! Thanks

Very informative. As far as the early history of regional turboprops is concerned, the iconic Japanese YS 11 is definetely an aircraft worth mentioning.

Thank you

i love this plane because it's so fuel efficient. Someday when I open an airline company, I will ask then to develop new model with range for long haul flight. This is for people who won't mind longer flight time but I will cut the current ticket price to half.

Turbo-props kick A$$

excellent stuff brother ... very interesting

Wonderful video good information well done keep it up

The CV2 of the air. Nice video sir.

Fantastic thank you

Some ATR's here in Canada. They sling it out with the Dash 8's pretty well. A video on the Fokker F-27 would be nice to see Skyships! They used to be everywhere in my part of Canada when I young - then the F-28!

The thumbs down is from Dash-8

Good video)

Great documentation, thank you! Error at 1.19: The turboprops flying at that time were not developed in the late fifties, but FORTIES.

Flew ATR 72 of TAP from Lisbon - Tanger. Very nice flight. The ideal 748 replacement. Now there's an interesting propliner I'd love to see a video of...

One of my favorite turboprop regional plane, another is DHC-6 twin otter

They (ATR) actually had agreed on a name, which was Colibrì (Humming Bird). It was the official name of the ATR42, but nobody ever really used it, and it is now forgotten.

Excelente vídeo nos mostrando uma bela aeronave . O ATR 42/72 é uma avião seguro , confortável e econômico !

I like the ATR models more so than the Dash-8 models, simply because of the gear placement. Glad that the icing issues are now a thing of the past. If given a choice on which to own between the Q400 and the ATR-72...ATR-72 would be in my hanger.

Great report. ATRs are used by the two main regional carriers here in the Caribbean.

I got a piece of that thing's fuselage at home, a window to be precise.

I noticed you appreciate all from of aviation, dislike unnecessary politics and lastly critical of "names". Thanks, for the upload.

4:15 absolutely BUTTER😊

Saab 2000 next?

I used to fly in the ATRs all the time when I was a kid

I love your videos!!! I used to work with ATR 72 and Q400 aircraft... I prefer the Q400.

I really like the ATR. I like the basic design from the outside, and the inside. I like the cabin. It gives a nice simple feeling. I flew on Caribbean Airlines on the Trinidad-Tobago route. It was on their ATR aircraft. The cabin had a size like a 737 or something else. Very roomy, and pretty spacious too. So yeah, I like this plane. It's nice and simple.

Thanks for uploading ATR video next dc10 please ❤️

I fell in love with these things on my trip to the Phillipines, flew on these cute lil things like what, 4 times, i miss them :(

The ATR 72-500 was the first turboprop I rode on Cebu Pacific. But I still loved the design of the q400 more than the atr which I have also rode

Nice... My fav ATR 42.

I travel ATR-72 today.It is very comfortable.

That FedEx ATR-42 is awesome.

Back in 1997 I flew in an ATR 72 on Czech Airlines from Vienna to Prague while heading home from my first trip to Europe.

Thanks for an interesting video....I've enjoyed the big turbo-props in the US and Europe....Dash 8, Saab, and the ATR ....too bad about Saab..the cars and aircraft.

Nice!

I lived in Cape Verde for a good while. Cape Verde airlines has a lot of ATRs and I used to know many of its pilots. It is not only some good aircraft for travelling in, it is also a very interesting aircraft to pilot they used to say. However, the "faint of heart" wont be too comfortable with its noise or the sensation the short distance of the engines to the body of the plane gives.

Been aboard of both, nice experience. Planning a video on L-410 Turbolet? Also quite an interesting story and a nice plane.

Yo Skyship! Can you do a video about the Dutch plane builder Fokker ?
