The truth about ATR72 and ATR42 revealed by Pilot Blog

#PilotBlog #ATR72 #ATR42 #Review
Here I go with the detailed review of ATR42/72 Pros and Cons. ATR is one of the most produced commercial turboprop airplanes in the world. I was flying it for 7 years and ATR was my first airplane to be employed as first officer. After 3 years of flying I became a Captain and later ATR42/72TRI. However I had to change the airline and I went to fly in Garuda Indonesia.
Now I am Boeing737 pilot but still have good and warm memory about ATR times. I am willing to share my experience with you guys, telling the truth about the ATR, about it's good sides and disadvantages. There is no perfect airplane flying around, because every airplane has it own specific.
Tell me if you want me to make the similar video about Boeing737.
By the way follow me on Instagram I have up to date uploads there.

Hello! I'm happy you didn't have A-Icing issues. I flew the 72-212/212A and experienced the same horror that AE4184 experienced with the aileron hinge point reversal. Luckily I lived, albeit barely. I will say that once I stepped off that aircraft on my last trip, I vowed never to get back on an ATR whether it be as flight crew or passenger. We didn't have the glass cockpit, or even GPS at the time. I hope as technology increased, so did safety. I have a sour spot in my heart for this aircraft, but I'm happy that they, apparently, got better. BTW a search of crash history for these aircraft yields a disproportionate amount of ice related accidents than does other aircraft.

@uwucaffeineaddiction4023 2 жыл бұрын

Don’t worry about the deicing issue I’ve heard it’s fixed for newer models. But yeah you probably should be careful of older ATR’s as a passenger. For freight it’s not really an issue because they could take it more slowly. A newer models like the 600 are fixed and I think also the 500.

@gaetanguimond1911 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, can you explain me how you got your aileron reversal ? Airspeed, altitude, flaps setting and propeller pitch RPM ? I flew the first ATR42 in Quebec ( when the atr crashed in Ontario Canada) holding in icing with flap extended. I have 4600 hours on it. I can tell you that as long as the ATR limitations where adhered to, all was more then fine. I have 1 occasion in my 6 years on the machine where we accumulated severe icing at 12000ft, poped out of the clouds in clear sky and the entire aircraft was shaking du to the ice accumulations on the 4 blades propeller. So much that the cabine crew came to see use. I now have 22000 h captain on B777, A310, and L-1011 and do not trust me but you may believe my words on it.

Ich kann nicht begreifen dass man die Flügel nicht heizen kann wie auch bei den grösseren Flugzeuge. Vereisung ist da schlimmste was es gibt und gefährlich, dass man das Eis zuerst anfrieren lassen muss und dann erst absprengen kann. Ein Defizit in der jetzigen technologischen Welt. Crash in der Nähe Como auch eine ATR Vereisung. Stall

Hello there, your 1000th subscriber here. Im an engineer working on A320, B737NG and ATR72-500 & 600, though i work on ATR for only 5 years now, one thing i notice was the DU is phisically unreliable, it happens to be faulty easily (either display F or totally blank), compared to the DU of B737NG & A320 which which rarely had the same issue. Suspect the 600 DU was having a cooling issue (we prevent this by cleaning the cooling air inlet holes every somehundred FH ) or just basically heat sensitive itself, since ATR avionic cooling system was also less effective (it only had one extract fan, compared to B737 two extract & two blowing fan), not to mention the aircond itself which is not too effective especially with OAT above 30°C and you only had the hotel mode for both packs. So maybe its only a problem here on equatorial climate though, overall still a reliable machine to work with.

@PilotBlogDenys 4 жыл бұрын

Hi! You are great! Thanks for subscribing to my channel! I always recpect engineers. They do their best to keep airplanes fit to fly! I had issues with ATR DUs. They overheat so I had to reduce the brightness, but I had never seen the totally blank DU. Yes, I think B737 DU is better... But on ATR's DUs you have more information. Thanks again! You are awesome!👍

@randomguy5795 4 жыл бұрын

Agree, information given on ATR DUs was a top notch, i personally like how the electronic checklist automatically cycle the MFD to show the respective system page. And also the MISC page which very usefull on Engine Ground Run-Up, all of which you won't find even on A320. What make ATR DUs different though, on B737 & A320 the DUs was only served as "Display". On ATR its also part of the Integrated System along with CACs, FMS & RMS. Hence, on A320 & B737 after we finished replacing the DU, then the job was done. But on ATR theres an additional requirements to install the Operating System Software followed by AVS Config Software which is unique to each A/C MSN. Otherwise you'll have that annoying "BAD CONFIG" msg. Your channel is awesome, keep up the great content. Terima Kasih.

ATRs from the way i see it, its not a totally bad plane, but its also obvious to see there are lots of cost cutting measures in it. Another thing worth mentioning is the cargo compartment in ATRs are strapped in with netting, left and wight of the walkway ! Vs Fokker 50 it was solid door. On multiple ocasions our cockpit door was blocked by loosened netting. That itself is a safety hazard.

And I can only confirm the words about simple 737NG FCOM (I've understood it only while having a big quantity of enthusiasm and veeery basic aviation knowledge (I was 14 😅)).

All in all, I can see that you are very pleasured with your job. And it's the main factor in aviation, I think. You have an amazing facility to explain difficult things at simple language. And...

This was the first and only airliner I flew and I loved it. We had, if I recall about 200 ATR's at some point. To me, the 42 was very docile and very forgiving. The 72-212A Now called 500, would talk back to me complaining and then did what I told it to do. The early ATR72's were the ATR72-200 series. They only had 2400HP, god they were terrible. They were eventually upgraded to the 2700HP & new props among a few other changes. Then the remainder was delivered that way. The 72's were very squirely in a strong crosswind. Oh and god they god hot as heck in the summer on the ground. I was sad when we got rid of them all. I was hoping we were going to get the 600 series, but it did not happen. I know Jets are the Now and the Future, but I think they might return. Especially with that new advanced ATR42s, but the USA does not like the TurboProps, but there are a fan base for them and I am one of them.

One question , I noticed that during climbing after take off the power will sligtly reduced and the climb angle will become less steeper, does pilot manually derated the throttle or there is some sort automatic function like 737 has to adjusting the throttle from TOGA to Climb mode?

Hi Denys. I have a question about Hotel-Mode on the ATR. For your operations, how often and and how long would you use it for? If no ground power was available, would you do your cockpit prep using battery power only, or would you have to start Eng. 2 in H. for the whole time? Thanks and please keep uploading. Hopefully your new employer will be supportive of your videos.

Hi! Thanks for your comment! For cockpit preparation you need 28v ground power or you may start eng 2 in hotel mode. With just battery power you would be unable to prepare the airplane, since ony critical equipment is supplied by battery power. It seems like my new company supports my social media activity. I am not sure about the cockpit videos, but I had the support for this blog.

But if ther's an ATR-42-320 and 72-600 avail for Flight sim would you only the the -600 ? Like the -320 though old is probably also much less complex A/C to learn / manage as pilot is it not ? Regards Jean-François

Do you need a lot of muscle power to fly the atr? Is it like the old jets like 707 where it's hard to control the air raft where the controls require a weight of 30-40 kgs on the yoke to turn the aircraft

No, it is very easy to control. Small airplane)

Curious to why not the slightly more powerful versions of the PW127 have ever been considered? Wouldn’t maybe 200-300 of more horse power provide a small noticeable difference in Take-off and climb performance + slightly higher cruise speed? Agree with previous comments; very comprehensive video of the ATR. Thanks!

Maybe they wanted to reduce the fuel consumption as much as possible.
