ATR: First UPDATE - First FLIGHT | Real Airline Pilot 

Thanks for the great content! I heard from an ATR instructor that after feathering the prop, you should wait 20 seconds before engine shutoff to allow the oil to drain to the main oil tank or it will remain in the propeller reduction gear box causing a low oil reading. Maintenance may fill the oil and when you start the engine again, the oil from the gear box will return to the oil tank potentially causing an oil level over max. This may lead to an oil leak, smoke in the cabin or an internal engine fire. We don’t want you to end up on a future episode of Mayday / Air Crash Investigations. 😉

I'm very happy with this update. The ATR is now basically exactly what I was looking for in terms of a regional turbo prop and with the price point what can I say, it's fantastic.

The flight plan issue you were having around 31:00 was because you were on the "plan" view in the navigation display. Not sure why it screws up but switching back to either of the other nav views makes the flight plan page work as expected. The reason you were seeing no flight plan and the revision page wasn't working was because you had selected the secondary flight plan, you just couldn't tell because of the aforementioned screwup.

Fantastic video. Such a high workload the entire flights, yet you remained professional and calm. This is what commercial flying is all about!

I still can't believe I paid only $16.99 for this amazing aircraft. I'm having a lot of fun learning to fly this in MSFS. Another great video, thanks for taking the time to make it.

Awesome to see more ATR content. Thank you as always my friend

I realy love how things are going with this atr. The decelerating performances are representative of the reality with that type of plane fadec equiped. I dont know if you are familiar with the DA42 we use in school. But we are doing 165kts with it until 1.4 NM final x).

Always on top M Emmanuel ! 👍 Thank you very much, and good flights on A330 😊

This was Good Thank You for Your Perspective on The ATR

Awesome update! Please do alert Hans that the fire handles are still missing the black engraved text and the idle gate handle is missing the red paint on the rod.

Great video thanks! I *think* you confirmed the after start item TRU on but the overhead showed it still off. I think VNAV can still be tempremental at times but it's a very enjoyable and engaging aircraft to fly.

Its hard for me to hear you over the aircraft noise. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues😢 Thanks for content ❤

Finally this become to looks like real regional turboprop. Thanks for update and I wish you good luck durning your type rating 🎉❤

It seems the right (FO) FMC is still frozen when starting in cold and dark. When starting on the runway it works fine. Might want to pass this on to Hans. Would be really handy to use it for COM freq entry.

Another great video. Suggestion, would love to see an RNAV approach tutorial. Also, I wanted to tell you, I sent a note to a320 sim pilot and suggested he have you on his podcast. They are absolutely fantastic and I would love to hear you banter back and forth about your history in aviation and everyday challenges with him. Would be amazing as your both my favorite RU-vidrs for flight sim.

Thank you !

I doesn't seem to want to obey VNAV altitude constraints in SIDs any longer. Worked great prior to the update.

Good work my friend ! Haven’t had a chance flying the updated version yet, hopefully soon. I did a review of all tutorials today, fresh start and continue learning/testing tomorrow

Thank you for a great and detailed video of this rapidly improving and highly enjoyable plane. Best value I've ever had for £10! Yes there's still things to do and updates needed but, with a pretty stable and well running smooth MSFS on fairly high to Ultra settings, I feel we've never had it so good in the the sim nowadays. I've almost got too many good planes to fly now, in virtually unlimited amazing global scenery, with FBW, the updated biz jets PMDG, Fenix, SWS Kodiak and RV14. Real pilots usually only ever fly one or two planes in the real world, and to relatively few different places in one region lol.

Definitely better. I still get prop rpm decaying in the beta range on the ground tripping the generators offline. That ones a bit annoying at night when all the lights go out.

Flight plan disappeared on me too while I was putting in the waypoints last night. It came back somehow... and VNAV path vanished while on RNAV approach.

Thanks for this video series! How to recycle FMA during turnaround routine?

Thank you... Appreciated.

there are two buttons under the secondary flight display. one , B, is brightness. the second is C. maybe that's for contrast, dimming the weather overlay? it's possible.

Have you noticed that the prop reversers are overpowered in the ATR, well really most turboprop aircraft in general?

so whats the deal with windscreen wipers doing absolutely nothing? it being an asobo aircraft and an asobo made sim, I wonder if thats something they are working on improving, because currently theres no real meaning in having working windscreen wipers if they don't wipe

would love working wipers

Hi 737ngdriver, you are very fluent with the ATR ! Could you tell me what is the difference between climbing in IAS mode versus VNAV IAS mode ? Is it related to potential altitude constraints recorded in the FMS flight plan ? I ask because I experienced some strange behaviour of my ATR in VNAV IAS mode, NOT following altitude constraints whatsoever ... Kind regards

What are the navigational limitations of an ATR compared to a jet like A320/737? eg RNAV/RNP. I live near NZQN and the jets can land in much lower minimums.

Seriously though, how many years or sim updates is going to take for Asobo to fix the rain and wiper stuff... Wake turbulence coming in 2030 with the pace they're doing things... lol

Thanks Emmanuel for another great video! :) If i fly an RNAV approach, do I still have to switch modes to V/ILS? or may i stay in FMS mode for the whole landing?

The VERT REV page doesn’t work when in plan mode, don’t know if the real aircraft works in this way. And when the flight plan disappeared I guess you clicked twice on the FPLN button and the FMC switched to the secondary plan which was empty

No aligning of GPS position needed at 3:10 ?

So then what's the verdict on VNAV? For me it doesn't start to descend on its own at TOD, but I have to initiate it with VS and setting the altitude. Or is this the normal behaviour?

Great video. can i ask you where you got the livery from

I would've been very nervous if the flight plan disappeared from the FMC like that.

How are you getting weather returns in the ATR-72-600? I selected weather radar on the MFD and turned the knob to the right until I saw WT and I dont get any returns when flying. I only get returns for Terrain.

Works Way better but lost all STAR in ekch. Shows up in fmc but only shows final approach fix.

The atr seems to still have some jarring bugs even after the update. Most notably a TOD marker that moves further away when the mcp alt is changed to a lower altitude, engines not being spooled up to the T/O rating on a turnaround departure (even when T/O is armed in the pwr management), the inability to properly capture and follow the glidepath during an rnav app. While the update fixes alot more serious issues, it is still a hassle to fly multiple legs on this aircraft before the plane starts having problems. It’s unfortunate because flying multiple short hops is what this aircraft is meant for, and personally I don’t like going to the main menu each time im done a leg.

Hi Emi! Thank you for your video! Are the weather radar implemented?

I wish RU-vid had another thumbs up button.

Can you specify where to get liveries for the ATR?

Hello I have a question, in night operations is it mandatory to have logo lights always on ?

I've been having an issue with my atr. I cannot hear any alarms or altitude callouts.

I'm having trouble understanding the comms of the Tower. Why is he saying negative on the startup only to give his approval three seconds later? What am I missing?

Have they improved the wheater radar? ( nevermind) they have not xD

Very cool

CRUMBS! After the new update a problem with TCA TRHUSTMASTER THROTTLE AND ATR Asobo 600 72 dOESN´T WORK AT ALL THE tca tHRUSTMASTER tHROTTLE. I was work fine before the update of the ATR and now, suddenly doesnt work meanwhile flying after take off: I 've configured using the PAD of Asobo again and work well while taxi, and take off, but when i try to move the Throttle without using Autopilot or the autopilot on … get stuck and the Throttle doesnt work at all. I try two times starting from beginning a new fly and always the same… it’s frustrating… before the UPdate of ATR from Yesterday, all was fine… This is pure junk! Any solution? Anyone happens? thanks for your answers!

Sadly, this aircraft remains an absolute mess! There is a major bug which prevents the aircraft engines from starting when using cold and dark. I have spent hours trying to work out what is going on. Sometimes I cannot get Hotel Mode working. All apears fine until I disconnect external power and the aicraft reverts to battery power only. Other times I manage to get engine 2 started but engine 1 will not start. Sometimes I cannot get either engine to start. The different options (cold and dark, hotel mode, etc) are a waste of time. When neither engine started this evening, I pressed ready for taxi. Even though external power was stiull connected the outboard displays shut down and neither engine would start. My fear is that the developer who released this beta-version of the aircraft also developed the CRJ.... which, more than 12 months on, is still full of bugs and problems. It seems as though he develops something really good.... upto a point.... gets bored and then abandons it. My fear is that he will do the same with the ATR.... VERY DISAPPOINTING

What’s the deal with the WX radar?

Is it only me or its impossible to understand the ATC
