Definitive guide to starting the ATR 42/72-600 from cold and dark in Microsoft Flight Simulator

Жыл бұрын

Following guidance finally being released on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator KZfaq channel, we work through the real procedure that real pilots follow when preparing the aircraft for flight. In concert with this I have corrected the written checklist I put together on launch day - which we can now use going forward with some confidence.
Here's where you can find the checklist:
ko-fi.com/jonbeckett/shop
Note that I miss out ALL of the checks that real pilots perform to ensure systems are operating correctly. This is both to save time, and in realisation that we are in a simulator where the aircraft is pretty much perfect each time we sit in it. I also don't use the built-in checklist in the EWD screen - I'll save that for another video :)

Thanks for the vids and checklists. Ive been using both to create my own single page checklist for each plane. Just walk through each video, along with checklist you have put together, and then condense it down for my own use, using some abbreviations that later helps with location identification for switches etc. U = upper panel / C2 = column 2 / CL = center left….as an example. That takes me right to the button or switch needed, and at that point I am able to continue the flow from having previously “studied” the aircraft, which usually consists of about 3-4 weeks of non stop flying it, along with videos, checklists etc. After several week I am fairly comfortable with it and can move on to another aircraft to add to the mix

There are huge positives to take from this aircraft, systems, flight model and indeed how good it looks internally and externally. Shipping with no documentation was a slight disappointment, perhaps they will follow. The price point however is fantastic, excellent value in my opinion.

Reference the charts for any altitude restrictions if following a STAR (use LittleNavMap if you don't have Navigraph), and then reference the pilot operating handbook for descent rates, or take it for a test flight to figure out what rate you can descend at in a given configuration.

There is no auto-throttle. That's the first thing to realise. The notch setting is really just a power position that the engine can run in all day long without issue. When controlling speed, you can either use power, or RPM to achieve the same aim - most turbo-prop pilot operating handbooks will advise using RPM to control speed.

This all worked fine for me except 1 thing. I could not turn OFF the prop lock on engine 2 after the engines were running. Thanks for making this video. I would have been COMPLETELY lost! [UPDATE] However, this plane does not play well with my Saitek peripherals. A constant fight between the flight panel and the navigation in the plane. The electrics all shut off whenever I hit the gear up or down on the switch panel. You can't over-ride the throttles and engine condition when you have the throttle quadrant installed. I suspect it I did some SPADnext work, I could probably get it working. FURTHER UPDATE] - Apparently the issue where the Logitech switch panel landing gear toggle shuts off the power or avionics has been around for a couple of years. It does this on the ATR and the TBM, but not most of the other planes.

You can move it manually, but you don't need to as it is automatically changed after TO and when in landing configuration. It stops you from pulling the PL below FI=Flight Idle while on ground the PL low point is GI=Ground Idle. The T lever below can override the automatic set position.
