ATR systems - Powerplant part 1 - General

This is the first video in a series of four videos about the powerplant used by ATR aircraft. It gives a general description of the engine, indications, and a few technicalities that might be nice to know about.

This video is not meant to give a fully detailed description of the system, but to give you an idea about who it works. Despite my effort to be as exact as possible, I might have made mistakes. If you find errors, please let me know, and I will add the corrections here:

I'm not a pilot but an engineer. This is right up my street. Definitely the right amount of detail (lots). Thanks Capt Nordal.

After seeing all the parts in the series I must admit I was not expecting such level of detail. Many thanks!

Absolutely fantastic resource. I find studying the ATR less accessible compared to airbus or boeing but this video was concise, simple yet highly informative. Really enjoyed part one, thank you Magnar for taking the time to create something so intricate on a topic so niche. Anyone can see you have a passion for what you do.

As others have said, thank you! Thank you for taking the time to produce high-quality and very informative videos. Thank you for the detail. I have just recently found your channel. I'm so glad I finally have. I love all things aviation, but I could never find highly technical produces and operation videos.
Now, I just wish I was younger and took a different career path earlier in life.
Please keep quality like this coming!

Excellent video. I particularly enjoyed the fact that you kept comparing the EFIS screen with the glass cockpit. I am about to start training on the ATR 42-500, after having flown the ATR 72/42-600 for 5 years, so this really helps. Safe flying mate.

Excellent Sir, I am very grateful that you have taken the time and effort to upload such educative content to pilots and enthusiasts alike.

Im only 15 min in the video and i have to stop and just say this is superb stuff. I have maybe 1500 hrs on the type and about to start my upgrade. This just takes the FCOM and jams it straight in my brain.

Fantastic explanation on inner workings and controls of the PW engines.

Morrn, morrn ! Kämpe gott ! Det var mycket att smälta och får återkomma flera gånger. Fick svar på många frågor, tack Magnar :)

Hi Captain. During approach, if you have an engine failure, ATR recommends that the affected engines PL is above 45 degrees before you shut the engine down. The same procedure is stated when dispatching the aircraft with ATPCS inop (CDL). Please let me know why this is because it’s contradictory to normal engine shutdown procedure, ie. PL first then CL. Your insight is appreciated.

Great video’s, keep up the good work!

I fly ATR 72. Very useful and helpful video to boost my knowledge.

Terrific explanations. They say humans use 20% of their effort to achieve 80% of their performance. The remaining 80% effort are used to achieve the remaining 20% performance. If only we had indicators which are so transparent of the current state. But still, like an engine we perform differently at any given effort. Depending on maintenance, wear, number, and status of connected systems, environmental conditions, and supplies.

IIt was very good that you explained the Full Description of all the 3 letter Acronyms for the Variations in the PW Turbo props But it would be really Nice when describing Further describing such differences you would use their full nomenclature instead of just the letter designations. You know for us Dummies that have trouble remembering what 8 or 9 different 3 letter acronyms represent in 30 of explanation.

Excellent Magnar. Looking forward to part two.

Congrats Capt. Magnar. Very clear and well structured!

[cruxader]

Highly recommended to watch these videos for those who are about to start their ATR Type Rating

[daoudimohammed]

Thanks for the great video and amazing explanation, I can't wait for the upcoming ones.
Keep it up Captain Magnar
