One thing that can help to slow it down during the approach (until the bug gets fixed) is to verify that after selecting TO power that the prop NP% actually goes back up to 100%, if not move the condition levers into the override position. That helps quite a bit if ATC asked you to keep the speed up for a jet behind you, happened to me yesterday on vatsim :)

A big thank you for providing this fine tutorial for us! You're great!!

[denisy]

your series on the ATR are good! thank you so much!

[mscigniewrudzinski]

From what i've experienced, you have to put a lot of forward pressure after landing when using reversers because the plane will want to pitch up quite a bit.

Always interesting information from a real pilot :) My challenge is now reducing the speed early enough, so that you don't end in a big rush just before landing. Suppose you could use hold to reduce altitude and speed ? I haven't trusted VNAV quite yet, seems it's late with TOD. Need to practice more, manual VS of 1, 500 ft/min works great, use calculator when to start the decent. I'll usually make it 5nm earlier, enough for slowing down further. It's a bit like flying DC-6 :)

[aayushkartikey]

Brilliant Video, Firstly to say. Just had a doubt, don't you set the Power Management straight to TO once gear is selected down, since this actually prepares you for a possible Go Around, and also compensates for the drag that the gear produces?

[paulwilson]

Using VS in the descent is pretty different. In the Boeings, VS stands for very seldom. It will take some practice to do those mode changes near the airport.

Thank you so much for your videos! Is it normal That the "banana" altitude intercept arc doesn't appear on my ND on climb and descent? Is there a button to switch on or is it a bug? Thank you for all!😊

[bwlucas]

Thanks for another great tutorial series. I somehow keep one wheeling every other landing, some paint missing from the wing... I need some practice, not sure what I'm doing wrong just yet. 

For go arounds, flaps 15, throttle to the notch, and press the TO button on the throttles the correct procedure for this plane?

[rickb]

Great tutorial series! Can you explain why you leave VNAV and use VS that last bit? I don’t understand exactly

[matleb]

how did you get the TOD? don't know how to get it up

[yams]

I've been hitting the tail lately, ha, ha !

[CMDRRustyDog]

When you selected the Course by turning the CRS knob, where is it displayed so that you know what it's getting set to ??
EDIT: Never mind, I found it. It's under the altitude tape and QNH setting on the PD.

Also at 6:11 you said you were selecting "Speed Hold" mode, yet you pressed IAS and not SPD HOLD. So did you mean Indicated Air Speed? Sorry just a little confused with that one.

[sithiradulanjithgalhenaged]

I have a small question. I have noticed that when you controll the aircraft it is not as jumpy or sensitive as it is with me. Is there a setting or sensitivity you adjusted. Thank you. I am using the Thrustamster TCA sidestick.

[clarkm]

When I have an RNAV approach loaded in the FMC, I don't get a TOD marker, and it doesn't allow me to descent via VNAV. Can you help me please?

[Jezza]

Anyone else having trouble entering a hold in the MCDU? My plane always ignores the hold and just goes in a random direction after it should enter the hold, doesn't even follow the original nav mode when this happens.

[dyeahna]

Hi my friend what happened to pmdg 737 on Xbox my friend I thought it would be arriving end of April ? 😢

[dirtycasper]

Is the ils frequency auto or do you have to enter it?

[xtheb]

Thanks a lot for the series! Great tutorial.
One question! I had the issue at descent that I got into overspend with the ATR 42. But even after I reduced the speed I couldn’t leave the „pitch hold“ mode. The flashing warning on the display was „select LNAV“. Which was active.
Is that a bug or did I do something wrong?
