The truth about ATR72 and ATR42 revealed by Pilot Blog

Good info.

I am an individual with a disability, primarily reliant on a wheelchair for mobility. However, for short distances, I am able to move on foot and ascend stairs with the assistance of crutches and/or under the supervision of an attendant.
The purpose of my communication is to inquire about the accessibility provisions for passengers with reduced mobility on ATR 42/72 aircraft. My daughter made reservations and purchased four seats for my wife, myself, her, and her husband on a TAROM flight with ATR 42/72..
In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006 of The European Parliament and of The Council of 5 July 2006 concerning the rights of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility when traveling by air, I submitted a Notification to TAROM requesting assistance services outlined in Annex 1 of the mentioned Regulation for the aforementioned flights. Unfortunately, TAROM declined my request, citing that ATR 42/72 aircraft lack the necessary conditions to accommodate passengers with reduced mobility who require wheelchair assistance. Additionally, they mentioned that the aircraft stairs do not have handrails on both sides, which does not allow access to the plane for people with reduced mobility.
It seems that the ATR 42/72 aircraft do not follow the Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 5, 2006, concerning the rights of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility during air travel.

So for a ordinary flight guest. 0.8 Ton 1 hour, 5 Ton of fuel make around 6 hours in air and by flighing around 500 Kilometer an hour about with TurboProb about 3000 Kilometer Range?

ATR or RAT, standing for ram air turbine

Why we feel more turbulance on atr as compare to other aircarft

In my mind, the ATR rules!

The ATR 600 series, YES, it has VNAV.

Hey, it’s the guy who does daily Ukraine/Russia updates.

Awful aircraft.

You don't need an GPU to power system and air in a Airliner like the B737, you got the APU for that.
The Idea is exactly the same so I don't see how it's and advantage of an ATR vs a Jet.
Strange you forgot to mention the APU...

I am here because Flight Simulator released the 42/72-600 and it's beautiful.

I kind of laughed when you explained the name of the plane in Romanian. Even though it was not made here.😂😂😂

Perfect video to get ready for the MSFS ATR. Looking forward to this beauty when I finish work tomorrow!

Good

Since late 2021 Engines have since been upgraded to the new PW127XT powerplants with 20% lower maintenance cost and 3% lower fuel consumption than the predecessor PW127M powerplant

Да Деніс, було цікаво послухати тебе англійською мовою і побачить твій експііренс

I am jet pilot I am a first officer I flown on a320/1 and now I fly 330 /340 I have total 8000 hrs .but I want to fly atr or any turboprop but after this video I think I have to think a lot .it is very after flying 15 years on jet to fly turboprop. Thanks for the video

Very good explanation. Thanks a lot captain.

Thanks Cap

very detailed and thorough video! hope to fly these someday soon!

So what happened for the ATR 72 500 at Pokhara? The airport seems made in a rush. The weather seems Nosig or Few, but what was the actual Metar? This seems difficult to get. The accident happened between base and final, and flaps have been discussed. Could something have happened with these? If ice over the mountains, could that have disturbed the flaps? Other guesses?

Arent u the ukranian news guy

Very interesting video. Do you have any possible theory on what may have happened to Yeti Airlines 9N-ANC. I suspect it could be in relation to the autofeather engaging 100% on engine one. What are your thoughts?

It seems to crash a lot..

I see an ATR 72 has gone down in in Pokhara today

Another ATR 72 accident in Pokhara Nepal today with loss of 72 lives. The pilot lost control just before landing. These planes are involved in too many accidents. This is a cheap french shit with bad reputation. Too many lives lost in past and is present.

One thing that I hate about ATR the most is, because it has no APU, the cabin can become unbearably hot on the ground.

One question, would you ever upgrade to wide body aircrafts and do long haul?

Hahaha 😆 I've been watching you Denys on your Orc invasion channel, now I find you here. Secondly, I'm gonna watch more, your flight experience...well I've been thinking of starting a local/region airline using 40 something seat turboprop aircraft. Slavs Ukraine 🇺🇦

ATR system is awesome 🙏🏻🇱🇰

I don't know if I want the pilots to have to use Google translate to read or reference the manual during a flight.

fantastic video

Здравствуйте. В каком году работали в ЮТэйр? Я помню у нас проходили стажировку ребята из Ютэйр- Украина.

I flew Atr42 and 72 -500 and -600 series and now im on trainning for Boeing 737 ng/max, in mexico. Just like you.
How did you feel the transition from atr to boeing?

you resembles to a great war expert/sommentator 🙂

Worst handling airplane ever. Hate it.

What’s your opinion of the Dash 8 Q400 when compared to the ATR 42 & 72?

I have always wanted to fly in an atr. Just once.

Very, very nice!

Wow.. stumbled on this video today 😅.
Very informative, will look for another video in this channel.
Selamat sore from Bali 😊.

very well done!

Why are ATRs preferred over Dash variants in the arctic regions such as Northern Canada and Russia?

I got about the same amount of flight hours in ATRs as you.
- ATR should stand for "Aircraft of Transients and Resets", a reality in winter or in summer, indistinctly in all ATRs I've flown.
- Hydraulically assisted surfaces could dispense that ridiculous horns in the tip of surfaces, that must be heated (not pneumatic booted) in order to protect against ice build up. And the handling would be better in icing conditions, as well. There are plenty of hydraulics from that ACW pumps.
- The ONLY ice protection efficient in this aircraft are preventive procedures. Hence a good and well maintained weather radar is a MUST. Avoid every type of medium and heavy cloud formation!
- Engines with 3500 to 4000 SHP would be better. A more operational flexibility would contribute to fuel efficiency, something this aircraft doesn't really have (I've always smiled when ATC asked to increase climb rate: something around 500/700 fpm was usual!).
- No opening side windows is something disappointing. Pilots evacuation can be done - from the cockpit - ONLY through a ceiling hatch, whose correct operation is NOT covered by the aircraft manuals! Be prepared: if you try to open that hatch, it will fall and hit your head, since it is not hinged. And it will have pressurization leaks, after you (try to) close it.
- Environment control is one of the most hated features in ATRs. Duct overheat is a frequent condition in places where air conditioning is most desired! And such failure are NO-GO - ground maintenance MUST correct the failure before take off.
- Tail strike is another common event. My colleagues used to say "There are two types of ATR pilots: those who have had a tail strike and those who are yet to have it". The main landing gears are positioned a bit too forward (on the ATR 72) and the tail can hit the ground even with the aircraft parked and braked. The manual says that three people standing in the rear galley and no one in the rest of the cabin, the tail can touch the ground.
- The aft door feature is something totally obsolete. A front passenger door would solve tail strike during pax/cargo loading. The motor that powers the front cargo door is also totally unnecessary and prone to failures. A manual operated door would be much simpler, quicker and efficient.
- I have ONLY bad thoughts about ATR manuals! The number of memory items in this aircraft is much much much superior than any other plane! As an example: The infamous procedure for Uncommanded Feather at Take Off requires - in an extremely difficult moment - that the pilot "digs" information on the panel to understand what is actually happening! Instead of implementing an electronic warning logic for the busy pilot in the take-off procedure, the manufacturer only issued papers and recommendations, relying only on specific training and the pilot's ability to discern and memorize alerts, events and conditions and take the right conclusion. Translations are something hilarious, like "On Ground" Emergency Evacuation emergency checklist, for instance...
- Last criticism for ATRs: they are made in Toulouse, France, not in Renton, WA or in São José dos Campos, Brazil...

ATR STAND FOR A THOUSAND RELAY

This my first time watching your channel. I'm a total av geek. This explanation of everything is so clear that it's embedded in my JP6 brain!

I Hope i can fly the DASH8 i Think much better plane

Nice job
