Following updates to the ATR series of aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator yesterday, it became obvious that the startup procedure from "cold and dark" has changed - so I have updated the checklist, and recorded a new startup procedure walk-through.
To download the updated checklist, head to my shop at ko-fi where you can download any of my checklists, and chip in a small amount if you wish:
ko-fi.com/jonbeckett/shop
It's worth noting that this is a FUNCTIONAL start procedure - I don't get involved too much in programming a route into the MCDU, running any of the tests, or monitoring many of the pressures and so on that a real flight crew would do - we're doing the absolute minimum.

Thank you for this video. I stills a bit of confidence than I might be able to wrap my head around this plane. If only “flown” small VFR craft and I feel so out of my depth with all this.

Jonathan: Thank you for this video. I hadn't flown the ATR since the most recent update, and was unaware of the revised start-up procedures. I couldn't get the starboard prop to rotate and had to scrap a flight at KBOS while communicating with Boston ground on Vatsim. Somewhat embarrasing, but your video has now solved the issue completely. I very much appreciate the time you spend on these lessons and evaluations of the various aircraft. Take care!

During the power up flow you can turn on the hyd pumps, turn on the aux pump, then turn on the hyd xfeed to pressurize both green and blue systems. Then turn off after verifying on the sys page that blue and green are pressurized.

@crockadile8638 8 месяцев назад

Not sure if this is a recent change due to the most recent update, but you cannot have the Gust Lock disengaged while attempting to operate the Prop Brake; it must be re-engaged when starting Prop 2/Engine 1 after hotel mode startup (don't forget to re-engage before takeoff) - I believe this is real-life accurate to the operation of the ATR42/72 but might be worth a mention in your checklist! Fantastic video though, got me off the ground for a test flight and now I'm planning my first flight.

@mikebakkeyt Год назад

Could you cover the EFB please? It will load the SB flightplan (sans airways) but I find the fuel and payload section a complete car-crash. The interface is awful with buttons which clearly do things but with no manual it's total guesswork regarding the correct flow. There are buttons which I've found overiding the pax numbers - ex. I import from SB showing 54 pax, then on the ZFW sub-screen when I say load plane it resets pax count to 61. The best I've managed is GW 300kg above SB TOW which I suspect is 6 crew added to the SB pax values. Honestly - simpler to not use the EFB at all until it's documented/fixed. I love the plane but shipping it with ZERO documentation is spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar...

@jonbeckett Год назад

I've not delved too deeply into the passenger info. I know if programming airways you have to do it a very specific way to avoid breaking the MCDU.

So it sounds you fly a departure and than it disconnects. That is on purpose to say the least. The work around on this is, click the DTO button and click the waypoint to go to.

@FlightLineYT Год назад

Be sure to look at your FMA's. Ensure the FGCP is set up correctly. If using FMS nav ensure FM1 is set on the Capt side and FM2 set on FO side. Ensure CPL is set to PF and FD's on. Ensure to also arm correct modes for departure.

@volwars 9 месяцев назад

So... here's a thing. And it drives me NUTS. Bought the plane this weekend so its hard to tell if there are any changes so far. I watched and followed this video for the 4th time now and all is the same until 13:04. Right at that time most of the messages in the first left screen dissapear on the video but stay on in my cockpit. It also keeps showing the hydrolics on low pressure?. No matter how often I repeat, it will show the blue pump, green pump and the acw gen1 and 2 on LOPR and fault. The strange thing is when I keep external power connected, and use that EXT the lights fade, but as soon as I disconnect again they turn right on again and the systems fail

@volwars 9 месяцев назад

Traced it back to a throttle problem. I use the Thrustmaster TC quadrant. However when I pull back the throttle to zero, it shuts down the engine and thus leads to lopres. Cant understand why it does this but Ill look into any known issues with this combination

@fauxflights77 11 месяцев назад

Just a note here for individuals whose HYD AUX will not produce the "READY", I found when following this that if I reconnected the external power, that light will go to a green READY for me. Much like this vid, it didn't work at first. There are threads in the forums suggesting there is a flaw in the AC/DC logic, and my solve by reconnecting to ext power seems to agree with that. This bug in theory should only hit you if you are from a C+D state.

@jonbeckett 11 месяцев назад

@fauxflights77 11 месяцев назад

@@jonbeckett Unfortunately it only worked once for me yesterday without shenanigans. I was following along with this video and it didn't work at the same moment as yours didn't. In this video, you give it a 2nd try but mine wouldn't come back up. I think I then removed external power (or had done it prior after eng1 start) and restored, and the when I did that, the HYD AUX worked. The rest of the day I had no luck so my workaround isn't a workaround. I'm going to dig into it more. I found a fwe bug reports from recently on the forums concerning this feature so it feels like maybe they have some race condition or something causing instability.

Its worth noting as well that when I am in a cold and dark state, my configuration is a little different than what yours is here. For instance, my hydraulics are set when I start from Cold and Dark.

@fauxflights77 11 месяцев назад

@@jonbeckett Okay, after playing with it, I think I've got a reliable means of getting it going. If I follow what you prescribed, even testing the last several hours on tens of attempts, it will come up maybe 5-10% of the time for me if I follow your vid to a T. What I found is that if I flip that condition lever to the "auto" position, that READY light will come on. What is interesting is if you then move the condition lever back to "FTR", that READY light will then turn off after a second which suggests the issue is related maybe to how much hydraulic power is available? I'm not sure, but if you set it to AUTO, every time that READY light will come on, so that's my thinking. If you want to see this demo'd in under 4 minutes, I uploaded a demonstration of both when it won't work and when it will: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZzzVY4_aTiI.html Oh, and you said you've never had that happen, but it literally happened on your first attempt in this vid if you rewatch it. You just got lucky that it came up with the 2nd press, I'm guessing.

@jonbeckett no worries. The atr is my primary choice of aircraft for running on air missions. Great aircraft and I have learned much from watching your content.

@FlyingCsongor Год назад

So what's new about the start-up procedure? Only that the aux hydraulic pump have to be turned on before disengaging the prop brake? If so, this video should have been only 30 sec :) And one more thing, you can actually pushback the ATR by its own power, using reverse thrust (props in beta), which is a real procedure at remote airports without pushback service.

@jonbeckett Год назад

I thought using beta to pushback was typically outlawed for all manner of reasons. A lot of the default button positions have changed following power-up. We are doing a LOT less than we used to.

If your throttle levers are too much aft of the idle/disc position you will lose those displays for some reason. Since the sim allows reverse and forward thrust on the same axis, it makes it tricky to taxi, especially without a detent on your physical throttles. Try listening for the sound of the detent inside the cockpit to tell how far back your throttles are.
