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 Guys! My name is Denys, and I am Boeing 737 Captain. Before I used to fly ATR 42/72.
I am making the videos on this Pilot Blog channel to encourage people all around the world to join our aviation community.
Here you'll see interesting aviation videos from pilot's perspective. Enjoy:)

Probably the only and perfectly explained video about ATR I found on YouTube.

Simple, short, precise, smart presentation of ATR 42/72 pros and cons, Well done Captain Denys my friend.

[MrAviator]

Capt. please keep coming with the ATR videos. They are very helpful. I am a Type-Rated pilot on 72-600 with zero hours and I have my sim check on the 27th of this month with the national carrier of India your knowledge is highly appreciated.

I fly the ATR, absolute beauty to fly manually! It is notoriously known for not flying well in icing conditions but other than it is an amazing plane to fly

[oldergeologist]

Very intelligent man. He gave such a simple but comprehensive explanation of the airplane.
I wish more YouTube presenters had his skills. So many of them think they are the story.
Great video.

[Aviationlifestyle]

The most crystal clear explanation of ATR planes . Awesome 👏 keep it up 👍!!!

[wavesandsky]

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

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.

Great channel captain! ATR72-500 was the first airplane I ever flew on, so much memories

[kedarpandya]

Wow ... Very Well Explained. Was waiting for a video like this for a long time.

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.

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

[yoyovlogs]

Sir. Very well laid out. You have touched almost all the points.

[planeandsimplexplained]

ATR (72-212) was my first “Type” rating. I loved it.

[MagnarNordal]

Hi, great video! The VNAV button became operative with the STD 2 software and has become my best friend. I fly in Thailand, and we do a lot of LNAV/VNAV approaches here.

[frank]

Anyone here after the brazil air crash 😢

[beachboy]

Great and very honest video about the ATR. I enjoyed watching this!

[robertmendez]

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.

Thank you! I flew it a few times in MSFS, nice handling but all this automation in the cockpit is a lot to learn for me as a home pilot :)

[stephenadams]

I like the idea of controls without hydraulics. I drive an old BMW sports car and it may steer a little harder, and it has a manual transmission but it's great to feel in your hands what you are doing like you said with the controls on the ATR. I always like your videos. Thank you.
