      Hello, my friend! Now I have some problems filming about the ATR, because I was flying it more than 3 year ago. Now I am Boeing pilot. I will film what I can. But I don't have access to airplane itself anymore.
      Wish you good luck with your training. Safe flights!

    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
      @PilotBlogDenys  4 года назад +1

      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
      @randomguy5795 4 года назад +3

      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.

    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 3 года назад

      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
      @gaetanguimond1911 3 года назад +1

      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.

      3 Challenging ground control on landing and take off roll, specially on cross winds (narrow distance between main landing gear + high wing)
      4 No APU.(hotel Mode is crap and noisy)
      5 Cargo compartment in between cockpit and cabin!😳
      6 Rear main access!!😂😂🤦‍♂️
      1 and 2 are highly related. Not having power will force you to fly in the worst layers of the atmosphere. Again, deep shit.

    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.

      According to US NTSB report on American Eagle Flt 4184 this fatal crash in Chicago was caused by icing on the wings. There is now this one in Brazil which appears to be from same case. There have been other similar crashes amounting to many lives lost. They whoever they ,are seem to be very concerned because of what I see is a marketing answer, type of response. From the NTSB report on 4184 there was an icing problem and as far as I know one crashed in Canada from icing. I would not fly in it until his situation is cleared up. !

    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...

    A second helpful comment For this icing problem would be to put a mod/fairing on the upper surface of the wing just ahead of the ailerons to stop that ice building up and nullifying the ailerons ,so not losing aileron control in ice.

    Later models do have VNAV and are fully capable of RNAV approaches to LPV minima. I think version 2 of the flight guidance system added that. I tried, but failed, to find when it was released. Any older models could be upgraded to include it, if the airline cared to do so.

    Hello Captain, great video about ATR. 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?

    • @PilotBlogDenys

    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.

    • @PilotBlogDenys
      @PilotBlogDenys  4 года назад

      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.

      I would say that it depends on the type of operation, as in Canary islands is no issue because passengers travel with little or even no baggage, but in Cape Verde they do, and it was common to leave suitcases behind. They were sent on the next flight usually, or sometimes an empty aircraft went to pick them up, so not a big deal but it could make organisation very challenging.
