IMPORTANT / CRITICAL INFORMATION

You must read this before attempting to use the ATR72-500 in Flight
Simulator !

Failure to follow this advice will almost certainly
ensure operating difficulties with this product.

The following applies not only to the ATR72-500, but to any add-on aicraft you may be installing
into Flight Simulator, and in most cases will ensure proper operation of the product.

The below instructions are provided by the developers of the ATR72-500, who have years of experience
programming in the FS environment, and know what is best in order to operate within the structure of
Flight Simulator. These instructions do not indicate that there is any defect in the ATR product, but
instead tell you how you should properly load new aircraft and save flights within the FS environment in
order to avoid operational problems.

With any add-on as complex as the ATR72-500 it is ESSENTIAL that after installation of the product that you first
load it into Flight Simulator AFTER first loading the default FS start flight. This is the start flight that features the
Cessna at Seattle - Tacoma (KSEA) airport.

NEVER load the ATR over some other saved flight, especially one containing another complex add-on
aircraft.

If your default start flight is not the default start flight described above, please do the following :

1. Start Flight Simulator (FS).
2. Select the default start flight from the menu.
3. Save this flight and check the box to make it your default start flight (you can always change it later).
4. Exit Flight Simulator.
5. Start Flight Simulator again.
6. Once the default start flight (the Cessna at KSEA) has loaded, select the ATR from the menu and load it
into FS.
7. With the ATR now loaded, make any changes to the flight situation that you wish, such as moving to a
different airport, changing weather settings, etc.
8. You may now save this flight with your ATR.
9. ALWAYS save your flight when you are at the default 2D cockpit view. NEVER save a flight from spot
view, tower view, virtual cockpit view, or any view except the 2D cockpit view.

Always save your flight from the 2D cockpit view, and NEVER from
any other view. This will ensure proper loading of gauges and
initialization of the aircraft.

The Incredible ATR!

With more than 600 aircraft in operation and over 100 operators worldwide, ATR is the worlds most successful
large turboprop aircraft family. Built on the best attributes of the earlier series, the 500 Generation, and in the case
of this simulation, the ATR72-500, offer even higher standards of passenger comfort with the widest cabin in its
class. The ATR72-500 series provide airlines with efficient and reliable service at unbeatable operating costs.

While assembled in Toulouse, France, in a historic facility that once manufactured the famed Caravelle jet
airliner, the ATR is truly a multi-national product. Just some examples: The fuselage is built in Italy. The wings are
manufactured for ATR by Airbus, who is located nearby. Engines, propellers and most of the avionics come from
the United States.

ATR is a part of the EADS family of companies and employs 570 people world wide.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS!
Click Spots

All of the ATR 72-500s gauges and controls utilize a relatively unique implementation of click spots. In general
they work as follows:

1. As you pass your mouse cursor over the panel, passing over a click spot will cause it to turn from an arrow
cursor into a hand cursor. There are no + or - click spots as you might see on other panels. The hand
cursor will be empty.

2. In general a single click spot is used, and depending upon the function of that click spot, a left click will
accomplish the same task as a right click. Or, in other cases, a left click will accomplish one task, while a right
click will accomplish another.
EXAMPLE: To turn on the Landing Light switch, locate its click spot, then left click to toggle it on/off, or right click
to toggle it on/off. You could also left click to turn it on and right click to turn it off, or the reverse!
3. In some instances the click spot will not function as stated above, and instead will feature separate functions for
the left and right clicks. EXAMPLE: For a toggle switch with 3 positions, left clicks will move the switch in one
direction, while right clicks in the opposite direction.
4. Certain click spots will work with left and right clicks, and the mouse wheel, if you have such on your mouse.
This type of click spot is used on gauges that require adjustment, such as the radio knobs, etc. In this case the left
click turns the item left and a right click turns it right. Forward / back scrolling on your house wheel will also do
the same.
EXAMPLE: To adjust the Barometric pressure on the altimeter, you would locate the click spot over the Baro
knob. Then, left clicks would turn the knob to the left, and right clicks would turn it to the right. If you have a wheel,
scrolling forward / back on the wheel would accomplish the same thing. Thus, in the case of changing a setting,
the left click does one thing, and the right does another.
Computer Performance (Frame rates)
The ATR 72-500 is a VERY complex aircraft and panel product. With a highly detailed aircraft model, virtual
cockpit and cabin, a complete 2D interior, and highly detailed gauges and systems. It will place a greater
performance strain on your system than other similar aircraft. To date, no aircraft yet released for Flight Simulator
has been as complex as the ATR 72-500.
With the latest versions of FS, many users are under the somewhat false impression that products such as the
ATR 72-500 should run faster (frames per second) than they might have in previous versions; this is only partially
correct.
The newest versions of FS are more complex from a scenery standpoint than previous versions. From its
textures, to AI aircraft, to Auto Gen scenery, enhanced clouds and weather generation, all of these features tax
your system to a greater degree than previous versions of FS did. For example: A medium scenery density
setting in the current version of FS is still MORE than a medium density setting was in previous versions.
For those with slower computer systems especially, it will still be necessary to keep your scenery density at
minimum levels, and this may even require decreasing Auto Gen density, and reducing the number of AI aircraft.
Remember, some earlier versions of FS had none of these features, and these features do degrade performance,
often to a great degree.

If you find the ATR 72-500 running slower than you would like, then you will need to reduce your scenery density
settings further.

FS Performance Notes

Make no mistake about it: The current version FS is a far more complex simulator than its predecessor. It is not
just a minor upgrade.

These notes do not just apply to the ATR 72-500 product, but to FS in general.

Aside from the advice provided on the previous page, we wish to strongly caution you concerning the various
scenery density, options, and hardware display settings available in FS. You will need to spend some time
experimenting with these settings, in order to see what works best with your system, and which settings provide
the best performance.

These various settings can be found off of the FS menu bar, under: Options / Settings then look for Display
and Traffic, and make changes as required under each of these headings.

Unless you have the very fastest computer available, with the most system and video memory, you will need to be
prepared to turn down some of these display settings and options.

Do not expect to simply push all the sliders to their maximum settings, enable all options, and then fly
away with fast, smooth performance. You may be lucky, and your computer can handle this. Then again,
if you have an older computer, such settings may prove un-wise.

In some cases updating your video cards drivers may help. If you are using a particularly old video card, you may
wish to consider upgrading it. In some cases increasing your systems memory (RAM) may help. We consider the
bare minimum of system RAM for FS to be 256mb, and this is a MINIMUM, 512mb would be preferable. Some
users even install a gigabyte or more of memory, but in most cases this is not necessary.

As to video memory, we would prefer to see no less than 64mb.

Locking Frame Rates: Flight Simulator allows you to lock the maximum frame rates you will get, and we strongly
suggest doing this. Lock your frame rates at no more than 30, or as low as 18; you need no more than this for
smooth operation.

AI Traffic: Do not assume that this has no impact, as on the ground, and at very busy airports it can.
If you find yourself running slow at a particular airport, turn down the volume of AI traffic.

Weather: Its a whole new world of weather in FS, and such realism, as always, comes at a price. Be sure you
examine the various settings available for weather (this is under the Display menu) and experiment with various
adjustments to see their effect on performance.

Joystick / Control Yoke Settings

While it is impossible for us to suggest custom settings for the myriad types of flight controls, controller cards, and
system configurations that exist, here are some general suggestions for settings for your flight controls that will
assist in making your flying experience of the ATR72-500 as realistic as possible:

These settings are based on tests conducted with the popular CH Yoke and Rudder Pedals, and Microsoft
Sidewinder Joystick.

It is not required that you have a registered version of FSUIPC, however, please take note of the
suggestions concerning its use for those of you who have FSUIPC.

Control sensitivity:

If you have FSUIPC setup to control inputs, switch them all off first.

In the FS user interface for sensitivity make sure you have all axis sliders on maximum for sensitivity and the null
zones as small as possible. With these settings FS gets the full range of input to work with. To check the
minimum null zones, go in to slew mode and make sure that your aircraft is stable in position and moves
controllable with input on all 3 axis. If you have a registered FSUIPC version you may then go on the joystick tab
and adjust zero zones further to eliminate any noise (running numbers or off center positions). You then need to
set maximum value inputs to FS to +/-16384. This is the maximum value for FS needed to use the full range. It
gives true maximum and minimum inputs.

Control levers:

Do the same for all levers. Maximum/minimum is vital as otherwise you will get incorrect ground prop blade
angles resulting in excessive taxi speed, lack of de-acceleration on approach and no additional prop brake force
on 100% override.

Trim speed:

The FS user interface gives 3 options on repeat for trim buttons: No repeat, slow repeat and high repeat. Please
make sure that you use SLOW repeat. Only this one will give you the right time for the trim to run through its
range as it does on the real aircraft.

For those with FSUIPC, check the box for "fix control acceleration" on the technical tab in FSUIPC. If you do not
have this you may need to set repeat to 0 to avoid fast running of trim.

Brake power:

Again, put the repeat slider into the middle position in the assignment. That will give you a softer brake power at
short button or key press and increase brake power when you hold the button/key for more than a second.



ATR 72-500
Getting Started

As you no doubt learned installing the ATR 72-500 was easy; a simple click on the executable that you
downloaded, or installing from the CD-ROM, and then following of the installers instructions.

Now that the ATR 72-500 is installed in to FS, it is time to go find it and become familiar with it. This is where this
manual will be very handy once printed out and at your side.

While you may wish to skip to read the ATR Configuration Manager Manual, and how it may be used to modify
numerous options concerning your ATR, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the ATR by using the default
configuration it is installed with. Then, once you are familiar with the aircraft, and have read other sections of this
manual, in order to learn about it various systems, gauges, etc. you can then proceed to modifying various
options on the ATR using the Configuration Manager.

Lets begin!

Start FS and proceed to the aircraft menu.

The ATR 72-500 can be found under the manufacturer Flight One Software; it will NOT be found under
ATR.

With the ATR 72-500 now located you will see that it appears with one of the several airline liveries it is provided
with. In time, using the included Text-o-Matic utility (described later in the manual) you will be able to create
additional ATR 72-500s with other liveries / paint schemes. For now, lets fly the ATR 72-500!

Select the ATR 72-500 version that you wish to fly and load it into FS. Be sure you load it over the default FS
start flight, the one that features the Cessna at Seattle / KSEA.

NOTE: As it is a highly complex aircraft you will note that the ATR takes longer to load than other aircraft
you have, and this time will depend upon your system resources. Tests have shown an average load time
of approximately 30 seconds, with a minimum of about 20 and a maximum of over one minute, but this
higher figure is quite rare.

The main, 2D instrument panel will now appear before you, and it does not get more real than this! From the
gauges programmed using actual photos of the real ATR 72-500s gauges, to the panel itself, there is little
compromise in design here, and you are looking at almost exactly what a real pilot sees when he flies the ATR
72-500.

Before moving on to the next section of this manual, lets take a moment to talk about how to navigate through the
various 3D views.

By default, changing your 3D view is accomplished using the S key on your keyboard to move forward through
these views, and Shift-S to move backward through them. These 3D views are:

1. 3D outside view with 2D main instrument panel
2. 3D Virtual Cockpit (VC) and panel, and the Virtual Cabin
3. 3D Tower View
4. 3D Spot plane view

From the 2D Main Panel, hitting the S key will take you to the virtual cockpit (VC). Hitting the S key again will take
you to the Tower View, and so on. For example, if you are on the Tower View, hitting S will take you to the Spot
Plane view, and hitting Shift-S will take you back to the Tower view.

Take a moment to cycle through your 3D views, and then return to the 2D main panel. Yes, the VC is nice to look
at, and you might be spending much of your time flying behind it, however it is the 2D main panel that has the
easiest access to all the gauges and various features you will need to operate the aircraft with and that is where
we will start.

With your tour of the 3D world complete, go back to the main 2D instrument panel, and turn to the next section of
this manual. There you will find described all of the various instrument panels (there are as many as 5 instrument
panels) and the panel windows. You will also learn about the complete, photo real 2D interior that is also included
with the ATR 72-500 (yes, you get your choice of using 3D virtual cockpit and cabin, or 2D interior!).

This section will also describe how to access these instrument panels, panel windows, and 2D interior views,
using either keyboard, click spots, or in some case both.

Move to next section.


ATR 72-500
2D Panels, Panel Windows & Interior Views
2 - 1

The ATR 72-500 contains both a complete virtual cockpit / cabin, and complete 2D instrument panels, panel
windows, and interior views. This section will describe the 2D instrument panels, panel windows and interior
views, and the keystrokes and click spots necessary to access them.

There are two, 2D panel arrangements available for the ATR. These can be selected, along with various other
options for them using the ATR Configuration Utility (described later in this manual).

These panel arrangements are:
1. Expanded View Panel (EVP): This is installed and configured by default.

2. Condensed View Panel (CVP): This must be selected using the ATR configuration utility.

Both panel arrangements are similar, with the Condensed View Panel lacking some of the instrument panels
available on the Expanded View Panel. These are noted below.

The EXPANDED View Panel arrangement
provides the following instrument panel
views:

Left Main Panel
Left Landing View Panel
Left Taxi View Panel
Center Main Panel
Right Main Panel
Right Landing View Panel
The CONDENSED View Panel arrangement
provides the following instrument panel
views:

Left Condensed View Panel
Left Condensed Landing View Panel
Left Taxi View Panel

The Expanded View Panel allows for starting from either the Left Main Panel (Captains seat) or the Right
Main Panel (First Officers seat). This can be configured using the ATR Configuration Utility, described
later in this manual. The cockpits internal 2D views will then correspond to the seat you have selected.

Click spots for accessing the above instrument panel windows will be described later in this section.

The 2D cockpit & cabin / interior view windows provided for BOTH panel arrangements are:

FS View Name* View Description

Look ahead/right Forward right side of cockpit

same button on the PWC or, in the event the window covers over the PWC (such as the overhead panel) you can
locate click spots on the corners of that panel window to close it.

In addition to the PWC, hidden click spots have been placed in intuitive spots on the main instrument panels that
also allow access to these windows. By turning on FS Tool Tips you will see descriptions of these clicks spots
when your mouse cursor is placed over them. Examples: Below the EHSI there is a click spot for the EFIS control
unit. On the autopilot display there is a click spot to access the autopilot panel window.

Turn on FS Tool Tips to help locate all click spots used to operate the
various Panel Windows.

4.1 CCAS Centralized Crew Alerting System
CCAS stands for Centralized Crew Alerting System. The CCAS continuously monitors all aicraft systems to
provide alerts to the crew in case there is a system malfunction, or hazardous aircraft configuration. These alerts
shall identify the malfunction without ambiguity and direct the proper corrective action.
Three types of visual warnings are used:
Master Warning (MW) and Master Caution (MC). These flashing warning lights come along with aural
warnings. By pressing on the light the light is extinguished and the aural warning silenced.
Crew alerting panel (CAP) this panel provides condensed in one panel several warning lights so that the
origin of a failure can be identified.
Local Alert lights these warning lights are integrated in the system central panels. They provide the pilots
with detailed information about the failure and direct proper corrective action. Only few local alert lights are
combined with an aural warning.
The ATR's cockpit is laid out according two basic principles:
All flight deck lights out
Except for blue or green lights for transient phases all lights are extinguished during normal operation
Detection sequence
The detection phase comprises three phases:
Phase Function Means of detection
1 Alert Aural & Master Warning / Master Caution light
2 Identification Crew alerting panel
3 Isolation Local alert
Alerts in case of system malfunctions are divided into four alert levels:
LEVEL 3: Warnings
Warnings indicate an emergency and immediate crew action is required.
These warnings are identified by
- The Master Warning light is flashing associated with a continuous repetitive chime (CRC),
- a red warning on the Crew Alerting Panel, CAP
- a spefic aural warning
LEVEL 2: Cautions
Timely crew action is required for cautions which indicate abnormal aircraft situations.
Cautions are identified by:
- The Master Caution light flashes amber associated with a single chime (SC) and an
- amber light on the CAP
LEVEL 1: Advisories
Advisories indicate situations where crew monitoring is required.
Advisories are identified by:
- an amber local light without chime
LEVEL 0: Information
Just for crew information like DME hold
The information is provided by blue, green or white lights on the control panels
As already mentioned different kinds of aural warnings sound depending on the situation:
4 - 7
ATR 72-500
CCAS & MFC
A continuous repetitive chime (CRC) is used for all warnings directly identified by a specific CAP light
A single chime (SC) is used for all cautions directly identified by a CAP system light
Specific aural warnings for all warnings that are not directly identified by a specific CAP light and which are of
a particular operational importance:
Warnings
stall (cricket)
overspeed (VMO, VFE, VLE (clacker)
AP disconnect (cavalry charge)
Trim in motion (whooler)
Cautions:
altitude alert (c chord)
calls (door bell)
AP capability downgrading (3 click)
All alerts may be inhibited when not desired:
Press the CLR pushbutton on CAP to extinguish all amber lights on CAP except PRKG BRK, GPWS FAULT,
MAINT PANEL which can not be extinguished
ENG Oil, smoke warnings and some cautions may be inhibited before takeoff by pressing the TO pushbutton.
This also inhibits the associated aural warnings.
As soon as one gear is not locked down or the RCL pushbutton is pressed the inhibitions will be cancelled.
Nuisance aurals may be cancelled for an entire flight with the emergency audio cancel switch on the control
panel (see control panel section).
The following list shows which indications on the CAP can be expected during normal operation:
After engine start:
No alert light is illuminated except PRKG BRK when parking brake is set.
Before takeoff
Press TO CONFIG TEST
if aircraft is in correct configuration (Trim, Flaps, Gust Lock, PWR MGT selector) no light will illuminate
if aircraft is not in correct configuration:
Master Warning light will flash red
CRC will sound
CONFIG red light will illuminate on CAP with
FLT CTRL when pitch trim and/or wing slaps are not in TO position and/or AIL Lock is illuminated
indicating a disagree between the gust lock control and the actuators
ENG when PWR MGT is not set to TO position
the TLU FAULT light if the Travel Limiting Unit is not set in LO SPD mode
Press TO on CAP, INHI light illuminates blue and takeoff may be initiated. When gear is retracted the inhibition is
disengaged and the INHI light extinguishes.
Before starting descent:
Press RCL on CAP.
No light will illuminate on CAP provided no failure occured in flight

4.2 MFC Multi Function Computer
The ATR is equipped with two independent Multi Function Computers MFC 1 and MFC 2 which perform
numerous logic functions.
Each computer includes two independent modules A and B and each module receives signals from various
systems and system controls. These signals are processed and the resulting orders are transmitted to the
various systems in order to
monitor, control and authorize operation of the aircraft systems
4 - 10
ATR 72-500
CCAS & MFC
manage system failures and flight envelope anomalies and command triggering of associated warnings in the
CCAS.
4.2.1 Controls
The controls for the MFCs are located on the overhead panel:
Each of the four pushbuttons controls operation of the associated module:
ON (pushbutton pressed in) The module operates
OFF (pushbutton released) The module stops operating.
The OFF white indicator light comes on
FAULT The amber light illuminates and the CCAS is activated when a malfunction or
electrical supply fault is detected.
The module then automatically becomes inoperative.
This light also flashes during self-test of the module.
During powering, since all four modules are selected ON, the following sequence
is executed:
MFC 1A and MFC 2A FAULT lights (self-test of these modules) are flashing.
MFC 1A and MFC 2A FAULT lights extinguish. MFC 1B and MFC 2B FAULT
lights (self-test of these modules) start flashing
MFC 1B and MFC 2B FAULT lights extinguish.

ATR 72-500
Fuel System
5 - Fuel System
The ATR 72 offers two fuel tanks each able to carry 3185 liters which equals 840 US gals. The tanks are placed
each in either wing. During normal operation each engine is fed by the respective fuel tank. Meaning the left
engine is fed with fuel from the left tank (no. 1). To ensure that fuel is provided to the engine throughout all
possible attitudes within the flight envelope each tank is fitted with a 200 liters feeder compartment.
Two pumps are installed in the feeder compartment: One electrical pump and one jet pump. The jet pump is
driven by high pressure, HP, fuel from the engines hydromechanicalunit, HMU, and is controlled by a motive flow
valve. Either pump is able to prevent sufficient fuel to the engine within the whole flight envelope.
There are controls for the electrical pump only. The jet pump is controlled automatically.
To monitor and control the fuel system several indicators and switches are included in the simulation.
5.1 Fuel Control Panel
The primary control is the fuel control located on the overhead panel. It comprises of:
1. Two fuel pump switches for the electrical pumps of each tank
Controls the electric pump and motive flow valve in each tank.
The switch has two positions: RUN and OFF.
RUN: illuminates green when the electrical fuel pump is activated.
This also activates the motive flow valve. The jet pump and electrical pump work according
the following logic:
o When jet pump low delivery is detected:
- Electrical pump is automatically activated
- Jet pump motive flow is controlled open but remains closed until sufficient
pressure has built up
o 30 seconds after HP fuel pressure is available and normal jet pump is working properly
(sensed by a 600 mbar / 8.5 PSI pressure switch) the electrical pump is switched off
OFF: illuminates white when electrical pump is deactivated and the motive valve controlled closed
2. Two LP valve position indicators, one for each tank
Each valve is controlled by the associated fire handle. Two possible positions can be indicated:
IN LINE: Flow bar illuminates green the valve is open
CROSS LINE: valve is closed, green illuminated flow bars cross the flow line
As long as the valve is in transit, flow bars are extinguished
5 - 12
ATR 72-500
Fuel System
3. Two FEED LO PR lights
Amber light that illuminates when fuel delivery drops below 300 mbar / 4 PSI. Indicates a pump failure or
fuel starvation. Furthermore it activates the CCAS
4. one cross-feed switch to activate cross feeding between left and right tank
Two positions are possible to select:
IN LINE Flow bar illuminates green and valve is open
Both electrical pumps are automatically activated
CROSS LINE The flow bar illuminates green and crosses the system flow line. The valve is closed
As long as the valve is in transit, flow bars are extinguished. Permanent extinguishing of both bars
indicates a valve fault.
5. Tank fuel indicator
A temperature measuring device is installed in the left feeder compartment.
5.2 Fuel quantity Indicator
To monitor fuel quantity the fuel quantity panel is installed on the center panel:
1. Fuel quantity indicators
Show current fuel quantity in left and right fuel tank in kg
2. Test Pushbutton
Press to test fuel quantity displays. While pressing test button displays should read 8s only
3. LO LVL amber lights
When fuel quantity in one tank drops below 160 kg (353 lbs) the respective light illuminates. The
electrical pump of the affected fuel tank is switched on automatically.
5.3 Fuel Flow / Fuel used Indicator
1. Fuel Flow (FF) Indication
The mass flux to the engine is displayed in 100 kg/h.
2. Fuel used (FU) counter
Fuel used in kg is indicated here
3. FU reset knob
Resets fuel used counter to 0. Pull to reset.

5.4 X-Feed Advisory Light
On the right hand side of the engine instruments the fuel X-Feed advisory light is located. In case X-Feed is
activated this advisory light illuminates.
5.5 Fuel temperature indicator
In addition to the fuel temperature indicator on the overhead panel there are two more fuel temperature indicators
for either tank.
In spite of the temperature indicator on the overhead the temperature indicators on the center panel use a color-
scale:
Yellow sector: -54 to 0C
Green sector: 0 to 50C
Yellow sector: 50 to 57C
Red Dash: -54 to +57C
In case the fuel filter is clogged the FUEL CLOG warning light illuminates.

ATR 72-500
Powerplant
6 - Powerplant
Two Pratt & Whitney PW 127 F turbo-prop engines drive the ATR 72-500.
Each offers 2,750 shaft horse-power (shp) maximum takeoff rating but during normal operation these are only
used for one-engine operation in case the other engine fails.
A six-blade Hamilton Standard 568 F propeller will produce the thrust needed.
Before starting to discuss the controls and indicators for the engine lets get clear about the engines tasks,
interfaces and subsystems.
In general the engine provides
4. Thrust
5. Electrical power
6. Pneumatic air
Nevertheless some more interfaces exist to the following systems:
Fuel system
Hydraulic system
So lets split up the engine in its parts and subsystems. Well start at the propeller and move towards the exhaust:
4. A six-blade Hamilton Standard 568 F propeller
5. The propeller reduction gear box
The turbines rotation speed is reduced in this two-stages-gear box. Several systems are installed on the
gear box:
o The AC wild power (ACW) generator (see electrical chapter)
o The propeller valve module (PVM) controlled by the Propeller Electronic Control (PEC)
o The High Pressure (HP) pump and overspeed governour
o The auxiliary feather pump
o The propeller brake (right engine only)
o The fuel cooled oil cooler (FCOC)
1. Air inlet
The opening visible below the propeller. Air flow divides into two airflows. One going into the engine and
the other passes the oil cooler to provide cooling (see lubrication system)
2. Low compressor
Axial, two-stage compressor fitted on the same shaft as the low pressure turbine
3. Diffusor pipes
4. High Pressure compressor
Axial, two-stage compressor fitted on the same shaft as the high pressure turbine
5. Accessory Gear box
It is located at the top of the engine and is driven by the HP spool. It contains drives for:
o The DC starter / generator
o The HP fuel pump
o The oil pumps
1. Combustion chamber
2. High pressure turbine
3. Low pressure turbine
4. Free turbine drives the reduction gearbox
Basically the turbo-prop engine works similar to the jet-engine. Through the air inlet the compressor is fed with
air. The airflow is compressed and deccelerated in two compressors before it enters the combustion chamber.
Slower speeds are needed for proper combustion. In the cobustion chamber fuel is burned which rises the
airflows temperature and thus its kinetic energy. In the turbines the airflow accelerates again and the airflows
6 - 15
ATR 72-500
Powerplant
pressure drops. The turbines are needed to drive the compressors and generators. Three shafts are installed in
the engine: One for the high pressure compressor and the high pressure turbine. The low pressure compressor
and low pressure turbine are mounted on the second shaft. Mounted on the third, inner shaft is the free turbine.
This shaft ends in the reduction gear box where the speed is reduced so the propeller is driven with lower
speeds.
Now youve got a rough idea what the engine is comprised of. Well there are still some things to discuss before
taking a closer look at some of the mentioned subsystems:
6. The fuel system
7. The lubrication system
8. The ignition system
6.1 Fuel system
The fuel subsystem controls fuel flow into the engines and fuel heat if necessary. The following graphic shows
the organization:
Lets start in the fuel tank:
The fuel pump switched which is discussed in the previous chapter activates the engine pumps (electrical and jet
pump). Fuel proceeds through the fuel heater where it exchanges heat with lubrication oil if needed. Before
entering the high pressure, HP, pump the fuel temperature is measured and displayed by the fuel temperature
indicator which is discussed in the previous chapter too. Then it enters the hydro mechanical unit, HMU, which
fulfills two functions:
2. It senses the fuel flow delivery to the engine by a metering valve assembly and returns excessive fuel to
the HP pump inlet
3. Through an engine valve it provides the motive flow which is required by the fuel tank jet pump
When the fuel has passed the HMU its flux is measured and displayed on the fuel flow indicator (discussed in
previous chapter). Before the fuel now enters the engines fuel nozzles in the combustion chamber it is used to
6 - 16
ATR 72-500
Powerplant
cool down the oil in the lubrication system. The subsystem where the heat exchange takes place is called FCOC
fuel cooled oil cooler.
6.2 Lubrication system
So, how is the engine lubricated ?
The following graphic shows the way the oil takes through all different systems:
The oil for lubrication is contained in a 14.4 liters tank (1). The pressure pump (2) is driven by the accessory gear
box forces the oil through the air/oil cooler (3) and a filter (4) both fitted with bypasses in case of clogging. The
air/oil cooler is located in the air inlet in the engine nacelle.
The pressure regulating valve (7) controls oil pressure and the low temperature valve (8) prevents damaging
pressure surges on cold starts.
The oil flow then divides into two flows, one going to the reduction gear box (RGB) passing the fuel heater (5)
and the FCOC (6), while the other flow goes into the scavenge system.
Scavenging is blown down or gravity drained except for No. 6 and 7 bearing cavity and the reduction gear box, on
which gear pumps are used.

ATR 72-500
Powerplant
6.3 Ignition system
Each engine is equipped with a high energy ignition system:
Two engine ignition exciters A and B powered by the DC ESS BUS and
two spark igniters, one for each ignition exciter.
The ignition cycle is divided into two phases:
1. Phase: for 25s intensity: 5-6 sparks per second
2. Phase: intensity: 1 spark per second
The ignition system provides ignition for:
Ground start using system A or system B or both (depends on start selector position)
In flight start using system A AND system B regardless of start selection
Furthermore exciters A and B are automatically activated if NH of one engine drops below 60%. This action is
inhibited if:
NH drops below 30%
EEC is deselected
Deselecting EEC enables manual activation of exciters A&B, using the MAN IGN guarded push-button
Condition Lever (CL) is set on feather or fuel Shut Off (S/O) position or
On the failed engine in case of ATPCS sequence
6.4 Propeller / Power Controls
The propeller is driven by a free turbine. To reduce the turbines speed a gear box is installed the reduction gear
box. Several subsystems help controlling the propeller. The following graphic will introduce the subsystems and
how they interact.
The propeller pitch is hydromechanically controlled by a Propeller Valve Module (PVM). This valve is controlled
by the Propeller Electronic Control (PEC) installed in each engine. The interface between the Propeller Electronic
Control (PEC) and the cockpit is the Propeller Interface Unit (PIU). Two systems remain: The EEC and the HMU.
6 - 18
ATR 72-500
Powerplant
The Engine Electronic Control (EEC) is used to calculate the propeller speed on reference of air speed and
altitude. To adjust the calculated propeller speed the EEC controls the fuel flow in the Hydromechanical Unit
(HMU). The HMU itself then adjusts fuel flow into the engine so that the needed rotation speed is gained.
Propeller pitch is adjusted by three control devices on the flight deck:
Power Lever (PL)
Condition Lever (CL)
Power Management selector (PWR MGT)
All these systems protect the propeller from low pitch angles in flight, overspeed and hydraulic pressure loss.
Furthermore the right engine is equipped with a propeller brake. This brake prevents the propeller from moving
so the right engine can be used similar to an APU to provide bleed air and electrical power on ground without the
engines or to be exact the propellers running. This feature is called Hotel mode and will be discussed later. Let's
take a brief look at these mentioned systems.
6.4.1 Hydromechanical Unit (HMU)
Tasks:
fuel metering in steady state operation
commands rotor speed in accordance with 2 laws (1
st
:law: top law, with EEC on to protect NH overspeeds, 2
nd
law: base law, EEC is OFF)
Fuel Flow adjustment in accordance with commands transmitted by the EEC
Ensures engine shutdown (HP fuel shutoff)
6.4.2 Engine Electronic Control (EEC)
Regulates a given power (by controlling the stepper motor in the HMU) to obtain a predicted torque. This
torque setting is a function of
the power lever position
the PWR MGT selector position
flight conditions
the position status of the bleed air valves
Ensures minimum propeller speed control, on ground and at low power
In case of engine failure, the EEC delivers uptrimmed take-off power for the remaining engine
6.4.3 Propeller Valve Modulator (PVM)
Controls the propeller maximum speed Np according PWR MGT selector at high power
Controls propeller pitch at low power and when using reverse
ensures low pitch through a solenoid (when Power levers are below Flight Idle, FI position)
6.4.4 Power Controls
Engine power is controlled by 1 subsystem, 4 controllers, 2 Gates/Switches and 1 button:
The Power Management system
6 - 19
ATR 72-500
Powerplant
2 power levers
2 condition levers
Gust Lock (Switch)
Idle Gate
TOGA / Go Around Button (indicated by the '1' in the graphic)
All these controls are located on the throttle stack:
6.4.4.1 Power Levers
The power levers are the two levers on the left.
Use these levers to adjust engine thrust from max rated torque to reverse.
Four power lever positions are rather important:
Ground Idle, GI: The throttle is retarded
Fwd Stop: Full throttle is applied
TO Notch: Indicates takeoff power setting. It is computed by PWR MGT system. Click the power
levers with the right mouse button to move power levers to TO Notch.
Note: Joysticks or other hardware to adjust power will cause problems when
using this feature ! Make sure that the power setting device is calibrated and in
idle position.
Reverse Pull throttle back against spring pressure to apply reverse thrust.
Another important feature is the GUST LOCK. The gust lock is used to prevent excessive throttle used when
6 - 20
ATR 72-500
Powerplant
operating the right engine in HOTEL mode. See above graphic the text 'Gust Lock' indicates click area to toggle
Gust Lock.
6.4.4.2 Idle Gate
The Idle Gate prevents reducing power lever angle below flight idle as long as the aircraft is airborne. The gate is
removed automatically when the aircraft is landed so that ground idle can be selected. An amber band is
indicated when the idle gate is removed. The idle gate can not be adjusted manually.
Click the power levers with the right mouse button to cycle between flight idle and TO notch.
Note: The throttle axis of joysticks or other hardware may interfere with this feature !
6.4.4.3 TOGA / Go Around Button
The TOGA button in the ATR does not influence the power setting see the Automatic Flight Control System
chapter for more information.
6.4.4.4 Power Management
The Power Management system automatically adjusts torque setting when Power Levers are in TO Notch. The
calculated torque setting is displayed in the torque indicator (see respective section).
1. Power Management Selector
Use Power Management Selector to adjust power setting according to flight phase:
TO Takeoff / Go around, set TO for takeoff and when the gear is down during approach
MCT Maximum continuous torque (single engine operation only)
CLB Climb, set CLB after flaps up command climb sequence
CRZ Cruise
2. PEC SGL CH Lights
SGL CH light illuminates when one channel of propeller electronic control is lost. The system will automatically
6 - 21
ATR 72-500
Powerplant
be transfered to the remaining channel.
Note: On ground, at each propeller unfeathering, LO PITCH protection is tested by the PEC and the back-up
channel is used during 2 seconds. SGL CH light illuminates during unfeathering then extinguishes. Therefore
the correct working of back-up channel is confirmed.
3. PEC FAULT lights
FAULT Illuminates amber and CCAS is acticated when both propeller electronic control
channels are lost.
OFF(pushbutton released) PEC is deactivated and NP is blocked at 102% whenever power is sufficient
The Power Management system sets the following values according to power management selector position and
flight phase:
TO on ground: NP = 100%
TO in flight: NP = 82
TO in flight and PL > ~50% (go around) NP = 100%
MCT NP = 100%
(PWR MGT selector must remain for at least 2 seconds in this position before given NP is set)
CLB NP = 82%
CRZ NP = 82%
6.4.4.5 Condition Levers
The condition levers operate
feather control
HP fuel shut off valves
propeller speed NP
There are four positions:
FSO Fuel Shutoff
FTR Feather (plus Minimum Mixture)
AUTO propeller speed is controlled by Power Management (Maximum Mixture)
100% OVRD 100% NP (Maximum Mixture)
6.4.5 Hotel Mode
As mentioned before the Hotel mode is used to provide pneumatic air and electrical power when on ground and
the engines shall not be started yet. This is similar to an APU.
Perform the following steps to start HOTEL mode for the right engine:
Check blue hydraulic systems is pressurized
Move Engine 2 Condition Lever to FTR
Enable the gust lock
Wait for the ready light on the overhead panel (next to the prop brake switch)
Flip the prop brake switch to ON
6.4.6 ATPCS
ATPCS means Automatic Take-off Power Control System.
In case of an engine failure during takeoff the ATPCS provides uptrimmed power on the remaining engine and
6 - 22
ATR 72-500
Powerplant
automatically feathers the failed engine.
This feature enables to reduce takeoff power for both engines by approcmiately 10% without affecting takeoff
performance.
The ATPCS systems has two modes dependant which arming conditions are fulfilled:
Uptrim and auto feathering functions armed:
PWR MGT Selector TO
ATPCS pushbutton ON
Both Power Levers above 49
Both torques above 46%
Aircraft on ground
Auto feathering function armed:
PWR MGT Selector TO
ATPCS pushbutton ON
Both Power Levers above 49
Both torques above 46%
Aircraft in flight
6.5 Fire Protection
Each engine is equipped with a fire protection system. It is comprised of:
two detection loops, A and B mounted in parallel
a fire detection unit
The detection unit is based on variation of resistance and capacitance. If a change in resistance is sensed only
the associated loop will be declared failed by the detection unit and a fault signal is given.
In case a fire signal is detected by both loops A and B or a fire signal is detected by one of the 2 loops if the other
one is selected OFF the red ENG. FIRE Cap illuminates.
The fire extinguishing system includes two bottles which may be used for engine 1 or engine 2. The bottles are
located on each side of the fuselage and dual squibs are installed in the discharge heads on each bottle.
The squibs are ignited by depressing the corresponding illuminated AGTN pushbutton on the ENG FIRE panel
(see Controls section)
6.6 Controls and Indicators
6.6.1 Torque indicator (TQ)
The main parameter for engine thrust control is torque which is defined as TQ=

ATR 72-500
Electrical System
7 - Electrical System
Electrical power is needed throughout the entire aircraft for a countless number of subsystems. Flight
Instruments as well as the coffee makers need electrical power. There are four main systems to provide
electrical power to all the ATR's systems:
The DC system DC stands for direct current
The AC constant frequency system AC means alternating current
The AC wild frequency system
The external power system
On one side of these systems there are producers of electrical power and on the other side are consuments
of electrical power. Electrical Power is distributed through several busses.
Electrical power producers in the ATR:
Main battery
Emergency battery
Two engine-driven direct current (DC) starter/generators
Two alternating current (AC) wild frequency generators
Two external power units (AC and DC)
The list of consuments is nearly endless and shall be spared for the sake of readability of the manual.
Of course it is possible to transfer electrical power from the AC system to the DC system and vice versa:
Two systems are available to transform DC power to AC and AC power to DC.
Two static inverters transform DC power to constant frequency AC power. One transformer rectifier unit (TRU)
transforms electrical power from the AC wild frequency system to the DC system.
So let's go through the four different electrical systems.
7.1 DC power
The DC electrical system runs at 28 Volt direct current (28 VDC).
The DC system gets electrical power from
the engines/generators
the batteries (main and emergency)
Transformer Rectifier Unit - TRU
Electrical Power is then dirstributed by several busses. At first the producers of electrical power will be discussed,
followed by the distributors and then the controls.
7 - 32
ATR 72-500
Electrical System
See the following graphic how generators and distributors interact during normal operation:
7.1.1 Generators
7.1.1.1 Batteries
The ATR uses two batteries: one 24V Ni-Cd battery of 43Ah (main battery) and another of 15 Ah (emergency
battery).
The emergency battery is capable of providing electrical power to the emergency network even if the main
battery is completely discharged by repeated engine start attempts.
The batteries are monitored by the Multi Function Computer (MFC) which:
Connects the battery to the associated DC BUS for charging
Analyses the charge current and/or associated DC BUS voltage
7 - 33
ATR 72-500
Electrical System
7.1.1.2 The starters/generators
The two DC starters/generators are driven by the engine accessory gear box. Each generator is able to provide:
12 kW (400A) nominal output power @ 27 to 31 volts
Starter mode
When in starting mode the starter is connected by the START contactor to
The main battery or
External power or
The main battery and the other operating generator
During engine startup the starter cranks the engine to the point of self sustaining (engine START ON light
illuminates on the ENG START panel).
At the end of the start sequence 45% NH the start contactor opens (START ON light extinguishes) and the
starter/generator switches to generator mode.
Generator mode
When the engine reaches 61.5% NH the starter/generator acts as a generator. Each generator feeds its DC BUS
through a generator contactor when DC Pushbutton is selected and external power is not used.
The generator control unit (GCU) is provided to control the generator and starter contactor. Furthermore it
establishes a constant voltage with various loads and provides several fault protections:
Over/under voltage
Over/under speed
Differential fault current
Generator overload

7.2 AC constant frequency Power
The AC (alternating current) constant frequency system provides electrical power with alternating current to
several of the aircrafts systems. It is connected to the DC BUS system by two static inverters INV 1 and 2.
Furthermore the AC system can be supplied with power from the AC wild frequency system by a Transformer
Rectifier Unit, TRU. See the following graphic for a schematic of the AC const. Freq. System (to read the graphic
start at the bottom and go on to the top).
7.2.1 Generators
The AC constant frequency system is supplied with electrical power by two static inverters. These inverters are
powered from DC BUS 1 and 2 and voltage shall range between 18 VDC and 31 VDC for satisfactory operation.
The inverters will produce voltage with the following characteristics:
power: 500 VA (115 VAC BUS), 250 VA (26 VAC BUS)
output voltage: 115 V 4 V and 26V 1V
Frequency: 400 Hz 5 Hz

7.3 AC wild frequency power controls
The AC wild frequency system produces and distributes electrical power with alternating current and various
frequency. The following graphic shows the way the ACW frequency system is organized:
7.3.1 Generators
Two propeller driven generators produce electrical power for the ACW frequency system. Each generator is a
brushless, air-cooled, 3 phase generator and is rated to deliver 20 KVA continously.
Nominal set Voltage 115/200 V
Operating frequency range 341 to 488 Hz (70 to 100% NP)
Each generator is controlled by a generator control unit, GCU. The GCU is in charge to ensure the following
control and protection functions:
under- and overvoltage
under- and overfrequency
power and fault current limiting
bus tie lock out

7.4 External Power
The ATR has two external power receptables located just aft of the nose gear. Through these receptables the
ATR supply with DC and AC external power is possible One receptable for DC, the other for AC.
DC and AC external power are both controlled via the Bus Power Control Unit, BPCU.
As there is a DC power receptable and a AC power receptable, there are two External Power switches. One is
located on the DC power controls (see DC controls section). In case DC power is available the AVAIL light
illuminates. To select external DC power press the pushbutton it will the blue ON light illuminates to confirm
selection.
The same goes for external AC power. The External AC power switch is located on the AC Wild Frequency
Controls panel (see ACW control section).
The AVAIL light indicates that external AC power is available.
To select external AC power simply press the pushbutton the blue ON light will illuminate to indicate external
AC power supply.
To deselect either external power supply press the respective external power switch once again. The blue ON
light will extinguish and the AVAIL light illuminate again.
Just make sure that the engines are started soon, or the right engine is started in HOTEL mode so that power
supply is given and the ATR's batteries won't drain.

Hydraulics
8 - Hydraulics
This chapter deals with hydraulic system in the ATR. Hydraulics are needed to move the flight controls, lower and
raise the gear, control the nose wheel steering and the propeller brake.
The ATR's fuel system is comprised of three subsystems:
the blue hydraulic system, which supplies
the nose wheel steering
flaps
spoilers
the propeller brake
emergency and parking brake
the green hydraulic system
the landing gear
normal brake
the auxialliary hydraulic system which is included in the blue system
For security reasons there is a x-feed valve so hydraulic power can be transfered from the blue and the auxiliary
hydraulic system to the green system.
Check the following graphic to learn about the hydraulic systems interfaces.
Each system is driven by an Alternate Current Wild Power, ACW, electric motor driven pump. These pumps
normally deliver 3,000 PSI (209.6 bars) pressure. Delivered pressure is indicated. The blue system is furthermore
equipped with an auxiliary Direct Current, DC motor driven pump which can be energized even when no electrical
power is available.

Pneumatics
9 - Pneumatics
External air is used to operate the air condition and ventilation system, the pressurization system and the anti-
icing system. External air is sucked into the aircraft at four locations:
engine air intakes
main landing gear fairings
low pressure ground unit (through a connector)
bleed valves installed in the engine compressors (thus it is already pressurized)
Pneumatic air is conditioned by packs and then distributed to the pressurized zones by ducts. Afterwards it is
discharged through outflow valves.So the pneumatics in the ATR can be divided in three main systems:
Pneumatic System
Which starts with the inlets and distributes air to the air conditioning
Air Conditioning
Assures supply with fresh air with the right temperature
Pressurization
To adjust the cabin pressure, the ratio of air flowing into the aircraft to air flowing out of the aircraft is
controlled by the pressurization system.
9.1 Pneumatic System
Compressed air is tapped of the engine's low pressure and high pressure compressor stages and then
distributed through several subsystems and ducts to the air condition and the ice protection systems.
Generally air is tapped of the low pressure stage through low pressure bleed air check valves. In case pressure
from the low pressure stage is insufficient, the air source is automatically switched to the high pressure
compressor stage. The high pressure, HP valve is a electrically controlled butterfly valve which remains closed in
absence of electrical supply. When air is tapped of the high pressure stage, thus the HP valves are open, the low
pressure check valves are closed automatically.
When the HP valves are closed air is drawn from the low pressure stage only.
Compressed air for the ice-protection systems is drawn from the high pressure stage only !
Before the air enters the pneumatic systems it has to pass the electronically controlled butterfly bleed valve. This
valve acts as a shutoff valve and closes automatically in the following cases:
Bleed duct Overheat, OVHT
Bleed duct leak, LEAK
Associated Engine Fire Handle is actuated
Engine failure during takeoff UPTRIM signal
Propeller Brake is selected ON (Only the left bleed valve is closed)
in absence of air pressure the valve is spring-loaded closed, regardless of electrical power supply
To connect the left hand and right hand air bleed system a crossfeed valve is installed. This valve is a spring
loaded closed, solenoid controlled, pneumatic shutoff valve and is closed with the solenoid deenergized.
A leak detection system is installed to detect duct leaks. In case a leakage is sensed the associated pack valve,
HP valve and BLEED valve (and GRD X FEED valve if thge left loop is affected) are automatically closed.
Furthermore an overheat detection system is installed which closes the BLEED valve and the BLEED AIR SHUT-
OFF valve whenever any abnormal over temperature conditions occur. They operate at 274C (525F) and are

Leak Warning light
The light illuminates amber and the CCAS is activated when leak detection system senses a leakage.
X-Valve Light
The light illuminates amber when the GRD X FEED valve is open
9.2 Air Conditioning
Two independently working packs process air to regulate air flow and temperature. The processed air is then
supplied to the air condition system and the left pack supplies the cockpit and the cabin while the right pack
supplies the cabin only.
Before the air enters the pack it passes the pack valves. These two (left and right) valves are pneumatically
operated and electrically controlled and they have to functions:
shut the pack off
pressure control which means flow control. Normal and high flow are available for selection.
The pack valves are spring loaded closed. In case electrical power is lost or there is no air pressure these valves
are closed.
When the air has passed the pack valve its temperature is regulated in a heat exchanger. There the bleed air
exchanges heat with external air. External air is supplied to the heat exchangers by
two ground turbo fans when:
IAS 150 kts and landing gear is retracted for less than 10 minutes.
Note: In case of ENG OIL LOW PRESS, the turbo fan starts on the opposite side and is running as long as
9 - 49
ATR 72-500
Pneumatics
IAS 150 kts regardless of landing gear position
by ram air when IAS > 150 kts
Note: Incorrect position of a turbo fan shut off valve leads to closure of associated pack valve.
The conditioned air is then blown into the cabin by outlet ramps and evacuated through guides along the cabin
walls at floor level.
A part of the evacuated air is recirculated by recirculation fans and the other part is evacuated overboard through
the outflow valves.
For the flight deck, forward cargo compartment, electric and electronic equipment things look slightly different.
Again the ventilated air is ducted overboard or recirculated, but it is recirculated underfloor to the pressurized
compartment and the selection is operated by the overboard (OVBD) valve which controls the underfloor (U/F)
valve:
OVBD full closed U/F open
OVBD partially or full open U/F closed
OVBD NORMAL MODE: Automatic selection
OVBD MANUAL MODE: to be used in case of AUTO MODE failureor, on ground to accelerate
cabin heating (full closed position)
Recirculated air is extracted by a fan that can be operated at different speeds:
Rotation speed is minimum below 20C (68F)
Rotation speed is maximum above 52C (126F)
Rotation speed varies linearly between minimum and maximum.
The EXHAUST pushbutton may be used to control the OVBD valve in a partially open position but can only be
used when OVBD valve AUTO MODE is activated.
Temperature is regulated by mixing hot and cool air in the packs. As mentioned the left pack supplies the cockpit
and the cabin while the right pack supplies the cabin only. Two temperature control modes are available;
AUTOMATIC MODE
Each pack discharge temperature is controlled by an electronic temperature controller which computes
temperature control valve position taking into account:
Duct temperature
Zone temperature demand selector
Associated compartment temperature
Aircraft Skin temperature
MANUAL MODE
Each pack temperature control valve is controlled directly by the zone temperature demand selector and
limited by the pneumatic temperature sensor.
The air condition is equipped with an overheat detection system too.
When duct temperature downstream of the mixing chamber increases over 88C (191F) the temperature control
valve is closed progressivly by the limiter in order to reduce hot air flow.
When duct temperature passes 92C (200F) an Overheat caution is provided to the crew the pack valve is not
closed.
In case duct temperature passes 204C (399F) the pack closes automatically.

The light goes off when the OVBD VALVE reaches the seleced position.
9.3 Pressurization
The ambient pressure decreases with increasing altitude. Thus the cabin is pressurized to reduce load on the
aircrafts hull due to differential pressure. Cabin pressure is controlled by the ratio of air flowing into the aircraft to
the aircraft which leaves the aircraft through outflow valves. The ATR is equipped with two outflow valves:
one electropneumativ outflow valve
one pneumatic outflow valve
Normally cabin pressure is controlled by the fully automatic digital electronic controller but the pressurization
system can be controlled manually by using the manual pneumatic controller. During automatic operation the
pneumatic outflow valve is slaved to the electropneumatic outflow valve and their opening will be the same.
Safety functions are implemented in case of controller failure:
the positive differential pressure is limited to 6.35 PSI
the negative differential pressure is limited to -0.5 PSI
9 - 53
ATR 72-500
Pneumatics
9.3.1 Auto mode
The outflow valves are controlled by the digital controller. It computes a signal to position the outflow valve, taking
the following parameters into account:
Landing elevation from landing elevation selector
Takeoff elevation is memorized by the controller
Cabin pressure
Aircraft static pressure generated by Air Data Computer, ADC 1 with captains altimeter baro setting. In case
of ADC 1 failure the aircraft static pressure is generated by ADC 2 with a 1013.2 HPa (29.92 in. Hg)
reference.
The controller computes a theoretical cabin altitude and sends a signal to the outflow valve torque motor in order
to adjust the actual cabin altitude by opening or closing the outflow valves.
In case the electrical signal is lost the outflow valves are closed.
9.3.2 Dump function
The Dump function sends a fully open signal to the outflow valves.
CAUTION: The DUMP pushbutton is mechanically protected and NO other safety devices protect from use of the
DUMP function.
9.3.3 Manual mode

Flight Controls
10 - Flight Controls
An aircraft can be moved around three axes. So a control for each axis is needed:
Pitch - controlled by two elevators, mechanically actuated
Roll - controlled by one aileron, mechanically actuated and one spoiler, hydraulically actuated (blue
system) on each wing
Yaw - controlled by a rudder, mechanically actuated
Furthermore a pair of mechanically linked inboard and outboard flaps are provided for each wing. The flaps are
actuated hydraulically from the blue system.
The following graphic shows where to find the different systems .
10.1 Roll Control
Roll is controlled turning the yoke left and right. The yoke movement is transfered through cables and rods to the
ailerons which will deflect according yoke movement. In the real plane max yoke deflection is +/- 87 while
ailerons travel +/- 14 up/down. During steep turns spoilers come up to increase roll rate. The spoilers retract and
extend automatically dependent of the yoke deflection.
The ATR offers a roll trim which resets the neutral position of the aileron. It is electrically controlled from a twin
control switch through an electrical actuator. Maximum trim settings are 6.7 up and 6.7 down.
10.2 Controls
10.2.1 Spoiler Position Indicator
The spoiler position indicator is located on the overhead panel in the upper-left corner.
When illuminated each blue light indicates that the associated spoiler is not in the retracted position.

10.2.3 Roll Trim Control Switch
The roll trim control switch can be found on the pedestal.
It is used to control the roll trim.
Press right mouse button to command right wing down.
Press left mouse button to command left wing down.
10.3 Pitch Control
Pitch is controlled by two elevators. These elevators are driven mechanically by the control columns thus by flight
simulators pitch commands.
Furthermore two pitch trim systems are offered:
The normal trim which is controlled by rocker switches in the real airplane is controlled by flight simulators trim
commands in this ATR
The standby trim system which is controlled by a trim switch located on the pedestal.
In the real aircraft a stall warning, a stick shaker and stick pusher system is included this is not possible within
flight simulators limitations. Thus only the stall warning is functional but stick shaker and stick pusher controls are
implemented to enhance realism.
When the aircraft approaches an critical angle of attack the stall warning sounds and the stick shaker somes on,
shaking the complete control column. In case the angle of attack is still increased the stick pusher comes on
pushing the control column forward.

The stick pusher light is located on the first officers main panel. To access the first officers main panel
configurate the ATR for FO main view panel using the ATR configuration manager !
The stick pusher light illuminates green to indicate the stick pusher is operating.
10.4 Yaw Control
Yaw is basically controlled using the pedals to control rudder position. A Travel Limitation Unit, TLU, is fitted on
the aircraft to limit deflection according to airspeed. The bigger the airspeed the bigger the loads on the rudder
become. To prevent damage to the rudder when full left or right rudder is selected the maximum deflection angle
of the rudder is reduced when reaching 185 kts during acceleration. During deceleration full rudder movement is
regained when reaching 180 kts.
Normally the TLU operates automatically and gets the information about airspeed from the Air Data Computers
ADC 1 and 2. In case of ADC failure the pilot can select LO SPD or HIGH Speed manually.
Yaw Trim is performed by offsetting the spring tab zero position. Yaw trim is controlled from a twin rudder rotary
selector through a trim actuator. A Releasable Centering Unit, RCU, prevents pedal movement during trim
operation. So the pedals remain in neutral position when rudder trim is used. The trim setting is indicated on the
trim indicator. Maximum values are +/- 3 dots.
To prevent excessive movement of the rudder due to gusts a yaw damper is installed. In flight the yaw damper
regulates rudder travel speed.

10.5 Flaps
Each wing is equipped with two mechanically linked flaps (inboard and outboard flap). The flaps are controlled by
the flap control lever which sends an electrical signal to the flap valve which hydraulically acuates the four flap
actuators. The flap lever can be positioned to 0, 15 and 30.
In case the flap angle differs by more than 6.7 the flap asymmetry warning is activated and the electrical supply
to the flap control system is isolated.
So flaps stay in their present position and the flap lever has no more effect on the system. Maintenance action is
required to reset flap system.
10.5.1 Flaps Control Lever
Controls the flap operation. Distinct positions correspond to flaps 0, 15 and 30. To change flap setting use
flight simulator commands for flap extension and retraction or the mouse buttons:
Left mouse button extends flaps
Right mouse button retracts flaps.
10.5.2 Flaps Position Indicator

10.6 Gust Lock
Due to flight simulators limitations the gust lock implementedin the Flight One ATR reduces to the function of
limiting power lever travel to provide protection against too high power settings when in Hotel mode.
In the real airplane it provides locking devices for the elevators and ailerons to protect the flight controls on
ground.
The gust lock is activated by clicking the click area as shown in the Powerplant chapter.

Landing Gear and Brakes
11 - Landing Gear and Brakes
The ATR's landing gear is comprised of
one forward retracting nose gear
two retractable main gears
Both are hydraulically actuated and all are equipped with shock absorbers. For ground operation a nose wheel
steering is provided. In case of hydraulical or electrical failure the gear can be extended by gravity.
11.1 Landing Gear
The landing gear is controlled by the landing gear lever and the gear indication system. The landing gear lever
can be found right hand side of the engine instruments while there are two landing gear position indicators.
These landing gear position indicators are supplied from two different sensor units. The primary system,
managed by MFC module 1A supplies the indiator above the gear lever and the secondary system is managed
by MFC module 2A and indicates the gear position on the overhead panel.
Remember:
During reatraction the gear is automatically braked
As soon as the gear is locked in the selected position, hydraulic pressure is released from the connecting line
The gear doors are mechanically linked to the gear and are retracted opened and closed automatically
In case normal gear extension fails there is a gear emergency extension. The gear extends and locks due to
gravity and aerodynamic forces. Check your flight simulator which for the assigned key for manual gear
extension.
The nose wheel steering mechanism is mechanically controlled from the cockpit and powered by the blue
hydraulic system. Nose steering angle is +/- 60 and maximum possible nose wheel deflection (during towing !) is
+/- 91. An internal mechanism returns the wheel to centered position when the aircraft is of ground. Steering
control will be as long maintained as one gear remains on the ground.
Use differential braking/differential thrust in case steering mechanism is deactivated.

UNLK illuminates red when respective gear is not locked in the lever selected position or, if on ground, the uplock
box is not in the open position.
11.2 Brakes
The four main gear wheels are equipped with multidisc carbon brakes, each operated by one set of five
hydraulically powered pistons. There is a normal brake and a parking brake. The normal brake is supplied with
hydraulic power from the green system while the parking brake is supplied by the blue hydraulic system.
To prevent locked wheels during braking am anti-skid-system is provided which is activated when the gear is
extended and aircraft speed exceeds 10 kts. Each wheel and each pair of external or internal wheels are
monitored. The aim of the anti-skid system is to minimize maximum stopping distance while minimizing wheel
slip and brake and rire wear as well.
The locked wheel protection system is realized by comparing left hand and right hand wheel speeds. The right
hand and left hand outboard wheels speeds are compared as well as the inboard wheel speeds. For velocities
above 23 kts and a speed differential of more than 50% or greater between the two speed signals will result in
generation of a locked wheel signal and thus in brake release.
When the aircraft touches down braking action is inhibited as long as wheel spin up is below 35 kts or for 5
seconds so th wheel speed can built up especially on low friction pavements or with light vertical wheel load.

Ice and Rain Protection
12 - Ice and Rain Protection
To fly the ATR in most weather conditions ice- and rain-protections must be provided. Three kinds of systems are
installed in the ATR
Pneumatic ice protection
Using hot air tapped of the engines by the left and right de-ice valves regardless of bleed valve position. The
pneumatic system supplies the following ice-protection systems:
outer, center and inner wing leading edges
horizontal tailplane leading edges
engine air intakes and gas paths
Electrical heating
Electrical power from the AC wild frequency system is provided to the heaters. Electrical heating is provided
for the following systems
propeller blades

12.1 Anti-Ice Advisory System (AAS)
The Anti-Ice Advisroy System, AAS, is comprised of an ice detector, an icing evidence probe and three lights in
the cockpit: icing (amber), icing AOA (green) both located on the center panel and de-Icing (blue) located on the
memo panel.
The ice detector is located under the left wing and alerts the crew as soon as ice accretion is sensed. As soon as
ice accretion is sensed the amber icing light illuminates on the center panel.
The Anti-Ice Advisory System performs self-test contiunuously and a FAULT light illuminates and a single chime
sounds in case a failure is detected.
The following graphic shows the ice-detection cycle:

- ICE DET FAULT illuminates (with associated warning) if a faulty ice detector is sensed
3. Icing AOA pushbutton
- Icing AOA light illuminates green as soon as one horns anti icing pushbutton is selected ON. Thus the crew
is alerted that stall threshold is lower in icing conditions
- Icing AOA light can only be extinguished manually by depressing it, provided both horns anti icing are
selected OFF.
Stall threshold values recovers the values defined for flight in normal conditions.
Icing evidence probe

Illuminates Blue on memo panel when airframe deicing system is selected ON
Flashes Blue on memo panel when airframe deicing system is still selected ON five minutes after last ice
accretion detection
12.2 Engine and Wing protection
The basic principle of the engines and wings ice protection system is to inflate boots in order to remove ice.
Delivery pressure is controlled by the de ice valves to 1.4 bar (20.3 PSI). Seven distribution valves control air
supply to the boots:
1. left engine air intake and seperation chamber
2. right engine air intake and seperation chamber
3. left outer wing leading edge
4. left center wing leading edges and left internal wing leading edge
5. right outer wing leading edge
6. right center wing leading edges and left internal wing leading edge
12 - 70
ATR 72-500
7. horizontal tailplane leading edge
The distribution valves are controlled by the MFC and have one input and two outputs A and B.
Two types of boots are used:
chordwise boots A and B alternating for the leading edges and the gas paths
annular boots for the engine intakes
For the annular boots anti-ice MUST be activated before ice accretion takes place - don't wait for ice accretion
The boots are inflated according defined sequences. The sequence for normal mode is shown below. Two
beginnings of the following sequence may be selected:
Slow mode: next sequence starts at 180 seconds (SAT < -20C)
Fast mode: next sequence starts at 60 seconds (SAT > -20C)
In OVRD mode the timer is completely seperated from the MFC and fast mode is available only. The following

This chapter covers all instruments needed to basically fly the ATR.
It is devided into 5 sections:
Air Data System
Covers airspeed indiators, altimeters and vertical speed indicator
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)
Covers Standby Horizon, standby compass, Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI)
Eletronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
Covers EADI, EHSI and EFIS control panel

13.1 Air Data System
Three air data systems provide flight environment data:
Two main systems
One standby systems
Two independent Air Data Computers, ADC 1 and ADC 2 comprise the main systems. Several probes and ports
provide
static air pressure
total air pressure
total air temperature
to both units so the ADCs are able to compute the following parameters:
pressure altitude
vertical speed
indicated air speed (IAS)
true air speed (TAS)
total air temperature (TAT)
static air temperature (SAT)
Just a quick explanation on total and static values. Take pressure as an example; total pressure may be devided
into static pressure and dynamic pressure. Static pressure is the ambient pressure, so to speak the pressure one
can measure when one is not moving while dynamic pressure is the pressure due to movement. Total pressure
is simply the sum of static and dynamic pressure.
ADC 1 supplies the computed data to the captains flight instruments (altimeter, airspeed indicator, vertical speed
indicator) and several other systems. ADC 2 supplies the first officers flight instruments some more systems.
The standby system consists of two static ports and one pitot probe. The standby airspeed indicator and standby
altimeter are directly supplied by raw data.

13.1.1.5 TCAS Vertical Speed Indicator
The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the vertical speed of the airplane. Integrated into the ATRs vertical speed
indicator is a TCAS system. TCAS means Traffic Collision Avoidance System.
The TCAS display unit is included into the vertical speed indicator gauge by the little plane symbol and its
surrounding. Other traffic is diplyad by colored symbols depending on its relative position, speed and heading. In
case a collision might occur at first an traffic advisory (TA) is given the display symbol of the incoming aircraft
changes to an amber colored filled circle. In case a collision becomes likely a resoultion advisory is given by the
TCAS system and the displayed symbol changes to an red colored filled square. Furthermore colored arcs are
displayed in the vertical speed indicator to indicate a flight path which avoids a collision. An red arc means
prohibited vertical speeds, a green arc displays the vertical speeds to choose in order to avoid a collision.
See the TCAS section in the communication chapter for more information on TCAS system.

13.3 Eletronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
The main idea of the EFIS system is to present a lot of information to the pilot condensed in one system. Thus
data supplied by several sources (AHRS, ASI, Navigation Equipment) is processed so that it can be displayed on
two Cathodic Ray Tubes (CRT).
Actually the Signal Generation Unit is the interface between the data sources and the pilots CRTs. The SGU is
comprised of three parts:
13 - 84
ATR 72-500
Flight Instruments
Part A Data input which acquires data from attitude, heading and navigation systems.
Part B Avionics Standard Communication Bus, ASCB. This part is the interface with the ASCB which
enables the SGU to exchange data with the other piots systems.
Part C Symbol Generation. The part that generates the visual information presented to the pilots by the
two CRTs.
Two instruments are displayed by the CRTs. The upper one displays the Electronic Attitude Director Indicator,
EADI and the lower one the Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator, EHSI.
To control both CRTs an EFIS Control Panel, ECP is provided. For course, heading and altitude selection two
panels are installed: One CRS/HDG panel on the captains side which allows course selection for VOR 1 and the
heading and one CRS/ALT panel on the first officer's side which allows course selection for VOR 2 and altitude
selection.

Automatic Flight Control System
15 - Automatic Flight Control System
AFCS stands for Automatic Flight Control System. The ATR's AFCS is comprised of:
One Autopilot (AP) with yaw damper (YD)
One Flight Director (FD)
An Altitude Alert
The AFCS is controlled by the pilots through a control panel and annunciator panel. The annunciator panel is
called advisory display unit, ADU and indicates currently selected modes. These modes can be selected on the
control panel. A computer processes aircrafts attitude and navigation information, the selected modes so that the
aircraft actually follows the desired flight path.
The flight director indicates the flight path to follow on the EADI according selected modes while the autopilot
directs the actuators so that selected flight path is followed automatically.
The altitude alert provides visual and aural warnings when selected altitude is approached. The amber altitude
alert light located on the altimeter illuminates when aircraft is within +/- 1,000 till +/- 250 ft of selected altitude.
Every time the zone is entered a C chord is audible.

16.2 Traffic Collision Avoidance System, TCAS
The TCAS system shall help the pilots to monitor surrounding traffic and provide visual and aural warnings in
case a collision with other traffic becomes likely. A computer processes the signals it receives from the
transponders of the surround aircraft to identify and display potential and predicted collision targets. Vertical
advisories to avoid traffic collision are issued over the TCAS vertical speed indicator (see Flight Instruments
chapter, EVSI section). Two kinds of warnings are provided:
Traffic advisories, TA which are informative and indicate potential threads and
Resolution advisories, RA which display a threat resolution in form of a vertical maneuver in case a collision
becomes likely.
A traffic advisory is issued when the traffic gets between 20 and 48 seconds of projected closest point of
approach, CPA and is considered an intruder.
A resolution advisory is issued if the intruder gets between 15 and 30 seconds of CPA and is considered as a
threat.
All TCAS aural alerts are inhibited when aircraft is climbing and below 1,100 ft AGL and below 900 ft AGL and
descending.
The TCAS is controlled by the TCAS control box, described in the following section.

A. INCREASE DESCENT, INCREASE DESCENT
Received after DESCENT advisory and indicates additional descent rate required to archieve safe vertical
separation.
B. INCREASE CLIMB, INCREASE CLIMB
Received after CLIMB advisory and indicates additional climb rate required to archieve safe vertical
separation.
C. CLIMB CLIMB NOW, CLIMB CLIMB NOW
Received after DESCENT resolution advisory and indicates a reversal in sense is required to archieve safe
vertical separation
D. DESCEND DESCEND NOW, DESCEND DESCEND NOW
Received after CLIMB resolution advisory and indicates a reversal in sense is required to archieve safe
vertical separation
16.3 The SELCAL system
SELCAL means Selective Calling and was developed in the late sixties. At that time High Frequency (HF) radio
fequencies were used but air crews normally turned down th audio lever of their HF receiver because of the
background noise level. In case the operator wanted to talk to the crew they needed to chime, thus the SELCAL
was developed to provide an aural and visual warning for the crew that the operator wants to talk to them.
Each aircraft was assigned a unique 4-letter SELCAL code that the operator could call from the ground.
The SELCAL system is implemented to enhance realism but as you might imagine you can't actually use it in
flight simulator.

17.1 Flight Management
17.1.1 System Description
The Flight Management System installed in each ATR is a Honeywell HT1000 and it is actually a Global
Navigation Satellite System, GNSS.
Basically it is a GPS system that uses a GPS antenna a navigation processor unit which processes the received
data from the antenna and transmits it to the multifunction control display unit, MCDU, and other aircraft systems
like the HSI or the autopilot.
The MCDU is the main interface between the GNSS and the pilot.
To open the MCDU GNSS window press Shift+3 or the FMS icon.
17.1.2 Functions
17.1.2.1 Guidance
The guidance function guides the ATR along a programmed route. It compares the actual aircrafts position with
the programmed route and generates lateral steering commands to follow the programmed route. Be aware that

Entering Routes (some more information)
The way described in the example to enter a route is one possibility out of two:
You can enter each waypoint, which you will pass along the way by entering them into the scratchpad and
then lineselect them to 1R-5R. This creates a track directly from waypoint to waypoint.
Or you can enter an airway into the scratchpad, lineselect it to 1L-5L and then enter the waypoint where the
airway is left into the scratchpad and lineselect it to the associated LSK on the right.
Example / Tutorial 2 (Munich, Franz-Josef-Strauss EDDM to Bologna, Borgo Panigale LIPE)
You plan to fly from Munich, Franz-Josef-Strauss airport, EDDM to Bologna, Borgo Panigale airport, LIPE (Air
Dolomiti flight EN 3984. You plan to depart from runway 08L or R in Munich, follow KPT5E SID to KPT (Kempten)
VOR. Now you can start to follow airway UL607 to the intersection ALGOI, change onto airway UM738 and follow
it to ADOSA. There we'll change the airway to UP131 and follow it until FER (Ferrara) NDB.From here we'll follow
follow ADOLO Arrival into Bologna to finally land on runway 12.
Perform the following steps to program this route
1. Select RTE 1 page 1
2. Enter EDDM and lineselect it to LSK 1L
3. Enter LIPE and lineselect it to LSK 1R
4. Enter 08 L or R and lineselect it to LSK 2L
5. Enter EN3984 (the flight number) and lineselect to LSK 2R
6. Switch to the DEP/ARR page, open the departure pages, and select KPT5E SID out of EDDM, KPT transition
See the following section for more information on how to select arrival and departure routes.
7. Then select Arrival pages for LIPE (LSK 2R) and select runway 12. Notice that there is no STAR provided in
the navigation database !
See the following section for more information on how to select arrival and departure routes.
8. Proceed to RTE 1 page and cycle to page 2, pressing the NEXT button
9. Enter UL607 and lineselect to LSK 2L
10.Enter ALGOI and lineselect to LSK 2R
11.Enter UM738 and lineselect to LSK 3L
12.Enter ADOSA and lineselect to LSK 3R
13.Enter UP131 and lineselect to LSK 4L
14.Enter FER and lineselect to LSK 4R
15.Enter BOA and lineselect to LSK 5R, LSK 5L shows DIRECT then
Bologna airport does not offer STARS, only arrivals and as it is not possible at the moment to create pilot-
defined waypoints such as place-bearing-distance the approach into must be flown manually. No worries you
can still use the autopilot but will have to tune VORs, selected the right Course by yourself. The arrival route
for runway 12 starts 2.5 miles out Bologna, BOA VOR, thus the waypoint BOA is entered too although we
won't pass it.
Furthermore more than one waypoint BOA is available in the navigational database. Thus the 'Select Desired
WPT' page opens when BOA is entered. Check the 'Select Desired Waypoint' section for more information.
16.Now RTE 1 page 2 should look like this:

Departures and arrivals for RTE 1 and RTE 2 are listed if the two routes have been entered.
The departure and arrival pages can be accessed at any time by pressing the DEP/ARR key on the MCDU.
The departure and arrival index page (DEP/ARR INDEX) is used to select the departure and arrival pages for the
origin and destination airports for each route. The DEP/ARR INDEX page also allows the pilot to browse
departure or arrival information for any other airport in the navigation database.
The first data field contains the LSKs to select the Arrival and Departure pages for the first routes airports while
the second field contains the LSKs to select the Arrival and Departure pages for the second routes airports
The active route is indicated by a ACT displayed next to RTE 1 or RTE 2.
In case neither Route 1 nor Route 2 is defined the data fields below the respective line titles remain blank.
The third data field, labeled OTHER provides access to Departure and Arrival pages of airports not defined in
either route. To access the departure pages of the desired airport enter the ICAO identifier into the scratchpad

sequence as the legs page. The ETE column shows estimated time en route between waypoints before take off,
and estimated time of arrival (ETA) when airborne. Each waypoint on the Route Data page has an associated
wind page. The wind pages for each waypoint are accessed by pressing LSKs 1R through 5R.
See the 'Active RTE LEGS page' section for more information
17.2.1.7 Wind Input
The wind page provides entry and display of forecast winds and temperatures at specified altitudes for specific
waypoints.
For a selected waypoint a maximum of four wind altitudes my be entered and displayed.
Enter the desired altitude in the scratchpad and press LSK 1L.
This will display a prompt on the right hand side where wind direction and velocity can be entered. Wind direction
and velocity are then entered in the scratchpad and line-selected to the appropriate data line. Altitudes may be
entered in any order, the HT1000 sorts and displays them in ascending order. Initial cruise altitude and
temperature may be entered in 5R, which allows the system to calculate temperatures for the remaining altitudes.

The entered winds will propagate forward and backward along the entire route if there are no pilot-entered winds.
Winds entered at the next waypoint will propagate forward only.
17.2.2 Takeoff / Climb
17.2.2.1 Direct-To
Direct-To route entries allow the pilot to fly direct to a particular fix. The fix may be part of the active route or it
may be an off-path waypoint.
To perform a Direct-To, enter the desired fix from the scratchpad into 1L on the first ACT RTE LEGS page. The
following are allowable entries:
Any navigation database-defined waypoint, airport, NAVAID or NDB
Any fix defined in the active or modified active route
Once the entry has been made a modification is created and the title becomes MOD RTE LEGS. After verifying
the modified path, the pilot has the option to execute or erase the Direct-To operation.
Now you took of from Franz-Josef-Strauss airport in Munich and already reached cruise altitude. The moment
you established at cruise altitude ATC clears you directly to PITAR intersection. Well, this will save some time
and fuel but how to tell the HT-1000 ?
1. Well, open the FMC (Shift + 3)
2. Open the LEGS page by pressing the LEGS function key (top row)
3. Enter PITAR in the scratchpad
4. Lineselect the entry to Line Select Key, LSK 1L, MOD RTE 1 is displayed to indicate the actual route was

to the scratchpad by pressing LSK 1L and then lineselect RENTA from the scratchpad to LSK 2L to clear the
route discontinuity and delete the rest of the route. The display should look like this now:
6. Now press the EXEC key to accept the changes and change the route.
As long as the changes are not 'executed' they don't influence the aircraft's path and may be erased by
pressing LSK 6L (<ERASE).
17.2.3 Cruise
17.2.3.1 Route Modification
Erasing an ACT RTE Leg
To remove a leg in an active route, downselect the waypoint below the unwanted leg or legs to the scratchpad.
The Erase ACT RTE Leg function is much more convenient in case you want to remove some parts of the route.
Assume you want to rmove the leg from RENTA to ADOSA, so you linselect ADOSA to the scratchpad and then
lineselect it to the LSK where RENTA is located at the moment.
17 - 139
ATR 72-500
1. Open the LEGS page (see graphic above upper figure)
2. Lineselect the waypoint ADOSA into the scratchpad
3. Lineselect ADOSA to LSK 2L to replace the waypoint RENTA (now the change must be activated to become
part of the active route, as can be seen in the lower figure. But this change shall be erased again)
4. Press LSK adjacent to <ERASE to remove modification.
Pressing <ERASE removes every change to the active route
Route Discontinuity
In case there is no defined path between two successive waypoints in a flight plan a route discontinuity is
created.
That may happen after waypoint deletion, addition or procedure stringing.
A discontinuity is not automatically bridged and the message DISCONTINUITY is displayed in the scratchpad
when a discontinuity is detected.
In case the autopilot is coupled to the HT1000 the aircraft will revert to HDG hold.
To clear a discontinuity downselect the next waypoint AFTER the discontinuity into the scratchpad. Then press
the LSK next to the discontinuity (where the box prompts are displayed), followed by the EXEC key.
Remember the Direct-To Section ?
After you entered PITAR and lineselected it to LSK 1L a route discontinuity was created. To remove such a
discontinuity simply lineselect a waypoint of your choice to the scratchpad and then move the entry to the LSK
where the route discontinuity is displayed.
Activation of the route afterwards is madatory !

Select Desired Waypoint Page
The SELECT DESIRED WAYPOINT page is automatically displayed when a waypoint is entered that existst at a
number of different locations in the Navigation Data Base.
The SELECT DESIRED WPT page is displayed to allow the pilot to select the desired navigation database fix.
When you enter the route for the flight from Munich, Franz-Josef-Strauss airport (EDDM) to Bologna, Borgo
Panigale airport (LIPE) the last waypoint you have to enter is the Bologa BOA VOR. After you have entered BOA
a new page will be displayed as the HT-1000 knows several waypoints named BOA. To be precise, it knows
Bologna BOA VOR and Bologna BOA NDB. The 'Select Desired Waypoint' page offers you a choice of
waypoints stored in the navigational database. Press LSK 1L-5L to select the appropriate waypoint. The bearing
and distance to each waypoint is indicated as well as the waypoints position in North-East-ccordinates to make
selecting the right waypoint easier.
For the example waypoint BOA the 'Select Desired WPT' page looks like this:
1. The page opens automatically when BOA is entered
2. Select Bologna VOR by pressing LSK 2L
3. Now the route page comes into view again
17 - 141
CAUTION:
Care should be exercised when selecting the proper navaid from the SELECT DESIRED WPT
page or list. The pilot should review the NAVAID type, position (LAT/LON) and frequency and
compare this data to the chart and the desired route to ensure proper waypoint selection
ATR 72-500
17.2.3.2 Active RTE Legs Pages
The RTE LEGS pages display a consecutive listing of flight plan waypoints and pertinent information about each
waypoint on the route. To access the RTE Legs page press the LEGS key an active route must exist. The
active waypoint is colored magenta.
The active waypoint displayed in the graphic above is (1900), which is part of a SID out of Munich. The computed
Distance-to-Go (DTG) is displayed in the center field and indicates nm. The Distance-to-Go is dynamic and will
countdown while the aircraft proceeds towards the waypoint. On case the DTG is greater than 100 nm it is
displayed in whole numbers and when below 100 nm it is displayed in tenth of a mile.
Preceding to each waypoint the calculated path for the aircraft is listed. For instance preceding PITAR
intersection is the course 163 indicating the course direction (path) for the aircraft.
When the active waypoint is passed it is deleted from the waypoint list, the ACT RTE LEGS display-set moves
upward and the next active waypoint is displayed in magenta at the top of the page.
1L (1900)
This is the waypoint toward which the HT1000 is providing navigation guidance (ACTIVE WPT)
2L L OR R
If the flight plan leg is part of a terminal area procedure (SID/STAR or approach) or holding pattern and the
procedure calls for a turn, the turn direction at the waypoint is specified. If a turn procedure is not specified, no
turn direction is displayed.
Note:
In case of a pilot-defined holding pattern, the L-R symbology will reflect the turn direction as entered by the
crew, regardless of the turn direction specified on the chart (the default setting is a right turn)

If an altitude is AT or ABOVE then it is displayed as XXXXXA (example: 14000A)
If an altitude is AT or BELOW then it is displayed as XXXXXB (example: 14000B)
If it is a window constraint then it is displayed as XXXXXB XXXXXA (13000B 10000A)
Flight path angles are generated by the system or extracted from the navigation data base and are a function of
the geometric descent path that is drawn to meet the altitude constraints. FPA angles in LARGE font are NAV
data base angles.
Notes:
1. If an altitude entry has been modified by the pilot (adding, deleting, or changing an entry) and the entry is
different from the initial flight plan entry, the value will be displayed in CYAN
2. If a NAV data base flight path angle must be increased to adhere with a procedure specified altitude
constraint, the changed FPA angle will be displayed in small font CYAN
When an approach procedure is appended to the route, the final approach fix (FAF) and the missed approach
point (MAP) will be positively identified on the LEGS page.
An F will be displayed adjacent to the waypoint identifying the final approach fix. Likewise an M will be displayed
adjacent to the waypoint identifying the missed approach point. Both the F and the M will be shown in reverse
video and in the same color as the waypoint.

17.2.3.5 Holding Patterns
This section describes holding pattern creation, modification, and guidance
ACT RTE 1 HOLD Page
The ACT RTE 1 HOLD page provides a means of initiating a holding pattern contained in the route at the
aircraft's current position or any other desired point.
To access this page press the HOLD function key. The graphic below shows the display when the HOLD page is
loaded.
17 - 147
ATR 72-500
6L HOLD AT
The HOLD AT line permits entry of flight plan waypoint or any other Navigation Database or pilot-defined
holding fix. A waypoint may be downselected from the HOLD page and then line-selected to 6L.
6RPPOS>
Selecting the Present Position (PPOS) prompt creates a holding pattern at the time EXEC is pressed.
Notes:
1. Selecting the PPOS HOLD while on an offset path deletes the offset path. The crew must define a path
back to the original route
2. A PPOS hold will create a discontinuity
The RTE HOLD page is used to review and change data associated with the holding patterns contained in the
route. The pilot can display and change the holding pattern or exit from an active holding pattern.
To access the holding definition page a waypoint must be entered in the box prompts at LSK 6L. A waypoint from
the HOLD page may be downselected as well and then line-selected to LSK 6L to open the holding definition
page.
The following graphic shows the holding definition page.
1L FIX
Displays the holding fix
17 - 148
ATR 72-500
2L QUAD / RADIAL
Displays the Quadrant and Radial (QUAD / RaDIAL) and permits entry of an assigned holding radial that
causes 3L to reflect the reciprocal Inbound Course
3L INBD CRS / DIR
Displays the Inbound Course and Turn Direction (INBD CRS / DIR). The INBD CRS / DIR are entered through
the keyboard. Valid entries for the course are three-digit bearings optionally followed by L for left turn or R for
right turn. L or R will also be displayed next to the hold fix on the ACT RTE LEGS page
Note:
Default value in 3L is the present Inbound Course to the holding fix with standard right turns
4L LEG TIME
The length of the inbound leg of the pattern defaults to elapsed time instead of leg distance. It displays 1.0
minute at or below 14,000 feet and 1.5 minutes above 14,000 feet. This time can be changed by pilot-entry.
5L LEG DIST
Displays dashes unles the pilot makes akeyboard entry for leg distance, in which case LEG TIME 4L is
deleted
6L < ERASE
<ERASE is displayed only on the MOD RTE HOLD page. Selecting it deletes any pending modifcations, and
returns the display to the RTE LEGS page if the holding fix is deleted as a consequence
1RFIX BRG / DTS
Displays the continuously updated bearing and distance from the aircraft to the hold fix
2RFIX ETA
The FIX ETA line displays the estimated time to the holding pattern fix point. This information is updated each
time the fix point is crossed
3REFC TIME
The Expect Further Clearance (EFC) Time allows the pilot to enter the time further clearance can be
expected. It is for reference only and has no effect on hold parameters
4RNOT ASSIGNED
5RENTRY
Displays the type of entry the system will use during entry of the holding. Possible entries are DIRECT,
PARALLEL and TEARDROP. The way the holding is entered is computed automatically given the previous
parameters.
The EXEC key must be pressed to accept the assigned properties for the holding.
A new waypoint will then be added to the LEGS page.
When the aircraft arrived at the holding fix and entered the holding the display changes. The EXIT HOLD> LSK is
added as can be seen in the graphic below:
17 - 149
ATR 72-500
6L <NEXT HOLD
Selecting the <NEXT HOLD prompt displays another ACT RTE 1 LEGS HOLD page where an additional
downpath hold can be programmed
6REXIT HOLD>
Displayed if the hold leg is the active leg.
Selection of the EXIT HOLD> at 6R causes EXIT ARMED to be displayed as shown in the following figure
When the EXEC key is pressed, the aircraft will continue in the holding pattern until it next reaches the holding
fix, then it will exit the hold.
RESUME (hold) may be selected at any time to cancel EXIT ARMED. An EXIT ARMED in 6R will be replaced
with NO EXIT DISCONTINUITY when EXIT ARMED is not available. Exit Hold will not arm if a route
discontinuity exists directly after the hold on the flight plan route. To arm the EXIT HOLD the crew must
remove the discontinuity, or perform a DIRECT TO to the next waypoint on the flight plan.
Notes:
1. If an NDB procedure adds a holding pattern as part of the approach procedure, the hold may be exited
automatically. A message EXIT HOLD ARMED will be displayed in the scratchpad one minute prior to exiting
the hold fix, in all cases. The pilot may select the HOLD page and select the RESUME HOLD> prompt if
required to proceed for another circuit.
2. Some departures will have a hold-to-altitude built into the SID. Once the aircraft reaches the predefined
altitude, it will automatically exit the hold. Therefore, the crew should monitor the exit status on the RTE HOLD
page.
3. If there is a discontinuity after the hold, the EXIT HOLD> prompt will be replaced by a NO-EXIT-
DISCONTINUITY indication until the discontinuity is removed
4. When a hold is executed, it creates a hold fix on the LEGS page. The hold fix on the LEGS page can be
deleted without creating a discontinuity.
5. In case you programmed more than one holding, use the PREV and the NEXT key to cycle through the
different holding definitions.
RESUME HOLD>
Displayed if EXIT ARMED> has been selected.
Selecting RESUME HOLD> at 6R before crossing the hold fix causes the aircraft to continue in the previously
selected holding pattern
17 - 150
ATR 72-500
Holding Pattern Guidance
When the holding pattern is created by the pilot, the system builds the geometry of the hold using the current
aicraft groundspeed with the configured autopilot bank limits. If the geometry of the hold exceeds the holding
airspace requirements, the system will restrict the size of the hold and annunciate the HIGH HOLDING SPEED
message approaching the hold fix. Thus the system indicates that it will not be able to fly the restricted holding
pattern due to the configuration roll limits and current aircraft speed.
The size of the holding pattern is frozen while the aircraft is in the holding pattern and is not adjusted until the
aircraft is next flown over the hold fix. When the aircraft next crosses the holding fix, another snapshot of the
aircraft's groundspeed is taken and the holding pattern is resized if necessary.
Note:
Pilots must adhere to the maximum allowable holding speed or less for holding patterns, since the HT1000
computes pattern sizes based on the speed at the initial crossing of the hold fix.
17.2.4 Descent
The HT1000 VNAV descent function is an advisory function only.
It only displays descent path deviation to the crew in the descent phase and it does not provide autopilot coupling
via pitch steering commands.
The VNAV function creates a fixed geometric path that is independent of winds and aircraft performance.
The descent path construction begins at the End-Of-Descent (E/D) and builds backwards to the Top-of-Descent
(T/D) point. Thus it complies with all altitude constraints.
The crew can use the DESCENT page to evaluate the ability of the aircraft to maintain descent path.
VNAV data and path deviation indications are provided to the crew on the following pages:
DESCENT page
LEGS page
PROGRESS 2/2 pages
Path deviation is also displayed on the HSI and ADI.
17.2.4.1 Descent Path Construction
The HT1000 is enabled to construct a descent path only when the following conditions are met:
The flight plan must contain a destination airport
The flight plan must contain at least one AT altitude constraint in the descent phase
A cruise altitude must be entered on the PERF INIT page
17 - 151
Caution
Ensure that the holding pattern conforms to ATC requirements. The HT1000 does not
automatically generate holding patterns as published on the associated navigation chart unless
the holding pattern is part of an approach or missed approach procedure.

17.2.4.3 ACT RTE LEGS Page (VNAV Information)
VNAV information is presented on the LEGS pages. The displayed altitude may be either an altitude constraint or
a predicted altitude computed by the system along the descent profile at the waypoint. To distinguish these two,
constraints are displayed in LARGE font and predictions are displayed in SMALL font.
The following types of constraints are available:
AT
AT or ABOVE
AT or BELOW
window constraint
Furthermore the LEGS page also displays the descent path angle for the descent profile of each descent leg
Altitudes
An altitude constraint may com from the navigation database as part of a selected procedure or it may have been
entered by the crew. Pilot entries will override a navigation database constraint but they are not allowed for FAFs
or MAPs and any waypoints between the FAF and the MAP.
When an altitude is entered by the crew, the value is displayed in CYAN.
AT constraints are displayed as 14,000

17.2.5.2 Approach Terminology Used In This Guide
The HT1000 provides the following types of approaches
1. Non-Precision Approaches include GPS stand-alone, or GPS overlays of VOR, VOR-DME, NDB, etc, that are
flown to the MAP (missed approach point). LNAV roll steering is provided on these approaches and presented
on the HSI or EFIS Map display. The autopilot may be coupled laterally.
2. VNAV approaches are GPS overlay or stand-alone approaches that are flown down to the MDA or DA(H) with
lateral and vertical deviation guidance. LNAV roll steering is provided on the approaches allowing autopilot

Caution
After selecting an approach, there may be a short delay before the corresponding transitions
appear. Do not press the EXEC key before reviewing appropriate transitions
ATR 72-500
cooupling. Lateral path deviation is presented on the HSI or EFI Map display. Vertical deviation from the
VNAV path is displayed on the EFIS Map and HSI/ADI
3. A SCAT 1 approach uses differential GPS to provide precision approach capability down to CAT 1 minimums.
The SCAT 1 approach allows autopilot coupling to both the final approach course and glideslope )not
simulated)
17.2.5.3 Non-Precision Approaches
Selecting a non-precision approach
Non-precision approaches to the destination airport are accessed from the DEP / ARR page. To select an
approach, press the line-select key next to the destination airport ARR> prompt on the DEP / ARR page.
All approaches for the destination airport will be listed along the right side of the page. If there is more than one
page (as indicated by 1/2 or 1/3 in the upper right hand corner), use the NEXT and PREV key to cycle through
the subsequent pages.
Find the desired approach and press the adjacent LSK to append the approach segments to the flight plan,
including the missed approach if provided.
After an approach has been selected, the transitions to the approach will appear on the same page. After an
approach has been selected it may take a few seconds for the transitions selection to appear. If desired, a
transition segment to the approach can be selected.
Note: After selecting the approach and any approach transitions, the crew should review the procedure on the
LEGS page for any discontinuities, incorrect bearings or distances. The approach as represented on the LEGS
page should conform to the approach plate. In the event of any disparities the approach plate is the final
authority.
The missed approach procedure also will be appended to the flight plan but must be manually connected to the
missed approach point on the LEGS page when it is desired to fly the missed approach procedure. This is done
at the prompt labelled <EXECUTE MISSED APPROACH. Pressing the line-select key next to this prompt will tie
the missed approach procedure to the missed approach point and will no longer allow HT1000 into approach
mode.
Flight Director Indications
The HT1000 will provide roll steering commands to the autopilot and flight director.
Indications on the LEGS Page
The FAF is identified on the LEGS page by an F displayed in inverse video adjacent to the FAF waypoint. The
Missed Approach Point (MAP) is identified with an M displayed in inverse video adjacent to the MAP waypoint.

IMPORTANT / CRITICAL INFORMATION

You must read this before attempting to use the ATR72-500 in Flight
Simulator !

Failure to follow this advice will almost certainly
ensure operating difficulties with this product.

The following applies not only to the ATR72-500, but to any add-on aicraft you may be installing
into Flight Simulator, and in most cases will ensure proper operation of the product.

The below instructions are provided by the developers of the ATR72-500, who have years of experience
programming in the FS environment, and know what is best in order to operate within the structure of
Flight Simulator. These instructions do not indicate that there is any defect in the ATR product, but
instead tell you how you should properly load new aircraft and save flights within the FS environment in
order to avoid operational problems.

With any add-on as complex as the ATR72-500 it is ESSENTIAL that after installation of the product that you first
load it into Flight Simulator AFTER first loading the default FS start flight. This is the start flight that features the
Cessna at Seattle - Tacoma (KSEA) airport.

NEVER load the ATR over some other saved flight, especially one containing another complex add-on
aircraft.

If your default start flight is not the default start flight described above, please do the following :

1. Start Flight Simulator (FS).
2. Select the default start flight from the menu.
3. Save this flight and check the box to make it your default start flight (you can always change it later).
4. Exit Flight Simulator.
5. Start Flight Simulator again.
6. Once the default start flight (the Cessna at KSEA) has loaded, select the ATR from the menu and load it
into FS.
7. With the ATR now loaded, make any changes to the flight situation that you wish, such as moving to a
different airport, changing weather settings, etc.
8. You may now save this flight with your ATR.
9. ALWAYS save your flight when you are at the default 2D cockpit view. NEVER save a flight from spot
view, tower view, virtual cockpit view, or any view except the 2D cockpit view.

Always save your flight from the 2D cockpit view, and NEVER from
any other view. This will ensure proper loading of gauges and
initialization of the aircraft.

Aircraft Model & Virtual Cockpit / Cabin
18 - 2

IMPORTANT!

Aircraft models and their various features are selected from both the FS aircraft menu, and the
Configuration Manager Utility. Please read the manual for the Configuration Manager for information
about its features and what can be selected via it.

The ATR72-500 consists of two separate aircraft models. One is the external model, and this is a
complete ATR72-500 aircraft which can be viewed using spot view. The second is an internal model
featuring the virtual cockpit and cabin.

This internal model is NOT a complete aircraft, and does not feature a complete external aircraft model.
This is intentional in order to boost computer performance. If you should venture outside the virtual
cockpit or cabin you will see that the external aircraft is not complete, and this is perfectly normal. If you
wish to view the outside of the aircraft, please use spot view, and you will then see the complete external
aircraft model.

External Aircraft model

Opening & Closing doors

There are two (2) doors that can be opened / closed on the ATR72-500: The aft passenger door, and the forward
baggage / cargo door.

To open the aft passenger door: Press the default FS key command of Shift E. This means to quickly tap the
shift key plus the E key simultaneously. When the passenger door is opened, the required tail stand will
automatically appear under the tail. This tail stand is normally put into place by a member of the ground staff, and
is not a device that extends from the aircraft.

To open the forward baggage door: Experience has shown that the FS default command for this (Shift E + 2)
is often unreliable. For this reason we have changed the command to open / close the baggage door to that
utilizing the wing fold key command.

The wing fold command is NOT assigned a key by default in FS, and as such you will need to assign a key to it
under the Options / Controls / Assignments menu in FS. We suggest using Ctrl 6 for this purpose
(simultaneously pressing the Ctrl and 6 keys), however, if you have already assigned this to something else, you
may certainly experiment with other key combinations.

Sounds

The internal and external sounds featured in the ATR72-500 aircraft were recorded from a real ATR72-500
aircraft, during an engine run-up provided for this purpose. They were then edited / optimized to ensure that they
faithfully reproduced the sounds of the aircraft. For maximum realism we suggest turning the volume on your
computer to maximum, along with the engine sound slider in FS. Provided, of course, your speakers and your
next door neighbor can handle this!

3D Virtual Cockpit and Cabin model

To access the virtual cockpit / cabin from the 2D cockpit, press the S key.

The ATR 72-500 features a fully interactive virtual cockpit. With the exception of the FMC, every gauge, control,
switch, etc. that can be operated in the 2D cockpit can be operated in the virtual cockpit. The FMC is not
operational in the virtual cockpit for the following reasons: A. In its real location, it is too difficult to access to be of
practical use, and it would also be difficult to read the display on most computer monitors. B. Computer
performance is improved by having only one installation of the FMC, and this is in its 2D pop-up window. When in
the virtual cockpit, use the FMC in its 2D pop-up window.

Moving around the 3D Cockpit & Cabin:

The ATR72-500 has a fully modeled virtual cabin, with animations, night lighting, and many details to explore. By
default, FS2004 has a limitation regarding how far you can go back into the virtual cabin. So, to be able to stroll
through the virtual cabin, you will need a special utility.

Flight1 has a free utility that will allow you move about the aircraft, as well as provide other special
viewing features. To get the free Flight1 View Utility, please go to www.flight1.com and click on the "Free
Downloads" link on the web site, or visit http://atr.flight1.net. If you have the CD ROM version, please look in the
Utilities subfolder on the CD ROM.

Virtual Cockpit features:

To move the Sun Visors: Note the location of the click spots below. The large click spot is used to fold / unfold
the visor, while the smaller one is used to swing the visor left / right. Only when the visor is swung to the right may
it then be folded up. In the photo the visor is shown folded up (stowed).

The white boxes indicate the approximate positions of the click spots.



ATR 72-500

Operating the arm rest: Click on the arm rest to fold it up / down.

Removing the yoke: For operator convenience or enhanced panel visibility, the control yoke / column can be
removed by clicking on it. To restore the yoke, click on the spot where the column enters the floor.

Exiting the cockpit: To exit the cockpit you must first unlock the door. The door switch is located on the aft
portion of the center stand. Use left / right mouse clicks to move the switch to the desired position. After setting
this switch to the OPEN position (note the associated annunciation to the left of the switch), click on the door to
open it.

NOTE: As previously mentioned, if you wish to exit the cockpit and enter the cabin, you will need to use
an add-on camera utility.



ATR 72-500

To enter the cabin: Once the cockpit door is open, move into the baggage area, and click on the cabin door to
open it. The cabin is extremely well-detailed, and features the aft galley, baggage area and lavatory. When
returning to the cockpit, do the reverse, and click on the cabin door to re-enter the baggage area, and the cockpit
door to enter the cockpit.

The lavatory: At the very rear of the cabin, next to the passenger door, is the lavatory. Click on the door to open
it.

The toilet seat may be opened / closed by clicking on it. The toilet can be flushed by clicking on the button.

GENERAL
- Older certification rules used as a reference the minimum speed which was recorded
during defined stall penetration.
This speed was established with a load factor lower than 1g. It was used as a
reference for all operational speeds.
(example V2 = 1.2 Vsmin, VREF = 1.3 Vsmin).
- New certification now uses as a reference THE ONE G STALL SPEED VSR which is
typically 6 % greater than Vsmin.
- In order to provide the same practical maneuver margin, the factors applied to VSR
have been changed to reflect the increased value of VSR relative to Vsmin.
1.2 applied to Vsmin becomes 1.13 when applied to VSR
- The ATR 72 having been certificated to the new rules, the reference stalling
speed called VSR is determined as a one G stall speed and the new (reduced) factors
apply accordingly.

UTILIZATION
- VMLB is the absolute minimum maneuver speed.
This speed
* is used for take off, and initial climb.
* must be used EN ROUTE FOR OBSTACLE LIMITED SITUATIONS (refer to chapter
3.09)
* should be used in flaps 0 configuration to obtain the best climb gradient.
In all these cases, bank angle must be restricted to 15 (low bank selected when
using AFCS).
- VmHB is the minimum speed used for approach. It also provides the best two engines
rate of climb.
In this case, bank angle must be restricted to 30 (High bank selected when using
AFCS).
In order to determine these speeds in a more pilot oriented manner, an operating data
booklet included in check list is provided in which relevant minimum
maneuver/operating speeds are directly given for all weights.

This chapter is divised in three parts :
- Icing,
- Cold weather operations,
- Operations in wind conditions.
ICING
I - GENERAL
Icing conditions are defined as follows :
" Atmospheric icing conditions
Atmospheric icing conditions exist when OAT on ground and for take-off is at or
below 5C or when TAT in flight is at or below 7C and visible moisture in the air
in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain,
snow sleet and ice crystals).
" Ground icing conditions
Ground icing conditions exist when the OAT is at or below 5C when operating on
ramps, taxiways and runways where surface snow, standing water or slush is
present.
" Regulatory requirements
Certification requirements defined in JAR/FAR 25 appendix C consider droplet sizes
up to 50 microns in diameter. No aircraft is certified for flight in conditions with
droplets larger than this diameter.
However, dedicated flight tests have linked unique ice accretion patterns to
conditions of droplet sizes up to 400 microns. Procedures have been defined in
case of inadvertent encounter of severe icing.
" Organization of this subchapter
It will address the following areas :
D Operations within the certified envelope.
D Information about severe icing beyond the certified envelope.
D Good operating practices.

E) PROCEDURES IN ATMOSPHERIC ICING CONDITIONS
During operations with AP ON during climb and descent, vertical speed mode should not
be used unless the airspeed is carefully monitored.
The suggested procedure is to use IAS mode with a speed selected which is equal to
or greater than the appropriate minimum speed (VmLB or VmHB in accordance with the
BANK selection on the autopilot).
CAUTION : Close attention should be paid to the appearance of an AILERON MISTRIM
message flashing on the ADU: if the message appears, apply the AILERON

In case of severe icing, refer to 2.04.05.
Notes:1. When ice accretion is visually observed, DE ICERS MUST BE SELECTED and
maintained ON as long as icing conditions exist.
2. Ice detector may also help the crew to determine continuous periods of
ice accretion as the ICING It remains illuminated as long as the ice
detector senses ICE ACCUMULATING.
The ice detector may not detect certain ice accretion form (see FCOM
1.13.20).
3. If a noticeable performance decrease and (or) significant vibrations occur
due to propeller residual icing then, in order to improve the deicing of the
blades, it is recommended :
D To check that the MODE SEL is AUTO, or that the MAN mode is selected
in accordance with SAT.
D To set CLs on 100 OVRD for continuous periods of not less than 5 minutes
in order to benefit from an increased centrifugal effect.
4. If ice accretion is seen by the detector with HORNS ANTI ICING and/or
AIRFRAME DE ICING still OFF, the ICING light will flash until corrective
actions are taken.
5. Engines de-icing must be selected ON prior to airframe de-icing to take
benefit of an immediate engines de-icing.
If not, engines de-icing will be effective 60 or 240 seconds later depending
on MODE SEL selection.

3) Mixed icing condition
Mixed icing condition may be encountered in the range of temperatures
-10C/0C. It is basically an unstable condition, it is extremely temperature
dependent and it may change quite rapidly. This condition may surpass the ice
protection capabilities because the aggregate of impinging ice crystal/snow
and water droplet can adhere rapidly to the airframe surpassing the system
capabilities to shed ice, causing significant reduction in airplane performance
as in case of system failure.
C) CONSEQUENCES OF SEVERE ICE ACCRETION
The consequences of severe ice accretions are ice location dependent.
If the pollution extension occurs on the lower surface of the wing, it increases the
drag and the airplane speed decreases. It may lead to stall if no action is taken to
recover a correct speed.
If the pollution occurs first on the upper part of the wing, the drag is not affected
noticeably but controllability anomalies may be encountered.
Severe roll anomalies may be encountered with "flaps 15" accretions flown with
flaps 0 setting. It should be emphasized that it is not the flaps 15 configuration itself
that is detrimental, but the low angle of attack that may result from such a setting,
especially close to VFE. This low or negative AOA increases the wing upper side
exposure to large droplet impingement. This is why holding with any flaps extended
is prohibited in icing conditions (except for single engine operations).

D) DETECTION
- During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane
is certificated shall be determined by the following :
Severe icing is characterized by ice covering all or a substantial part of the
unheated portion of either forward side window, possibly associated with
water splashing and streaming on the windshield.
Note : This cue is visible after a very short exposure (about 30 seconds).
At night, this pattern is put forward by the pilot's reading lights oriented
towards the side window.
and / or
Unexpected decrease in speed or rate of climb
and / or
The following secondary indications :
. Unusually extensive ice accreted on the airframe in areas not normally
observed to collect ice.
. Accumulation of ice on the lower surface of the wing aft of the protected areas.
. Accumulation of ice on the propeller spinner farther aft than normally observed.
- The following weather conditions may be conducive to severe in-flight icing :
. Visible rain at temperatures close to 0C ambient air temperature (SAT).
. Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperature close to 0C ambient
air temperature (SAT).
- The occurence of rain when SAT is below freezing temperature should always
trigger the alertness of the crew.
EXIT THE SEVERE ICING ENVIRONMENT
There are no regulatory requirements to certify an aircraft beyond JAR/FAR 25
Appendix C. However, in case of inadvertent encounter with such conditions
severe icing" procedure must be applied (refer to 2.04.05).

" TAXIING
- The standard single engine TAXI procedure may still be used provided the friction
coefficient remains at or above 0.3 (braking action medium, snowtam code 3) and
nose wheel steering is not used with too large deflections.
Note : If the OAT is very low, it may be necessary any way to start up engine 1 early
enough to get the necessary oil warm up time (refer to Note (3) above).
- For taxiing with the very low friction coefficients (icy taxiways, slush), it is
recommended to use both engines, limit nose wheel travel and use with differential
power as necessary.
SPECIAL CASE
If contaminant layer is significant enough to possibly accumulate in the brake area
during ground operation, brakes disks may join due to icing during the flight, leading to
possible tyres damages at subsequent landing. The following special procedure
should be applied during taxi before and as close as possible to take off.
Set 18% Torque on each engine and keep taxi speed down to a "man pace" during
30 seconds using normal brakes with minimum use of nose wheel steering to ensure a
symmetrical warming up of the brakes.

" TAKE OFF
Standard take off procedures will be used with the following additions :
. If runway is contaminated (ice, snow, slush), use the relevant performance penalties
defined in the performance section 3.03.
. Use of reverse on contaminated runways has to be limited at very low speeds to avoid
contaminant projections at the level of cockpit windshield which may reduce visibility
to zero (snow, slush). In atmospheric icing conditions, refer to appropriate speeds
and performance penalties and add the following :
- with very cold OAT, delay start of take off roll until oil temperature is at least 45C
(this is necessary to guarantee inlet splitter de-icing capability).
After the ground de icing/anti icing procedure, using type II/IV fluids, higher than
normal stick forces may be encountered. These control input forces may be more than
twice the normal take off force. This should not be interpreted as a `pitch jam` leading to
an unnecessary abort decision above V1. Although not systematic, this phenomenon
should be anticipated and discussed during pre-take off briefing each time de
icing/anti icing procedures are performed. These increased pitch forces are strictly
limited to the rotation phase and disappear after take off.
In very exceptional circumstances, because of increased rotation forces, the pilot can
consider that take off is impossible and consequently initiate an aborted take off .
The consequences of this decision are catered for by a specific performance penalty
(Refer to AFM SUPPLEMEMTS chapter).
AFTER V1, BE TAKE OFF MINDED
" BEFORE LANDING
If take-off has been performed on a slush contaminated runway, this slush may seize
the brakes during cruise.
To prevent tire damage at touch down : in final approach, after the selection of GEAR
DOWN, select the ANTISKID to OFF, then pump the brakes at least 5 times and then
reselect the ANTISKID to ON.
" LANDING
Same restrictions on reverse than for accelerate stop.
Apply relevant performance restrictions.
" PARKING
When OAT is below - 5_C / 23_F, particularly in wet conditions, avoid leaving the
aircraft with parking brake engaged and use chocks instead whenever possible.

OPERATIONS IN WIND CONDITIONS
Landing
The recommended landing flap configuration is the same as the standard landing flap
setting, even with strong crosswind. Large flaps extension does not impair the
controllability in any manner. Moreover it minimizes the flare duration and allows a quicker
speed decrease down to the taxi speed.

Precautions or special instructions may be necessary depending on the force and
direction of the wind. The following FCOM pages deal with this subject :

Windshear
This phenomenon may be defined as a notable change in wind direction and/or speed over
a short distance.
Windshear can be encountered in the vicinity of thunderstorms, into rain showers (even
without thunderstorms), during a frontal passage or on airports situated near large areas
of water (sea breeze fronts).
Severe windshear encountered above 1000 feet, whilst unpleasant, can generally be
negociated safely. However if it is encountered below 500 feet on take off or
approach/landing it is potentially dangerous.
As far as possible this phenomenon must be avoided.
Procedure at take off :
Delay the take off. If a low level windshear is reported calculate VR, V2 at the maximum
take off weight available for the day.
When clear of obstacles accelerate as much as possible and clean up the aircraft.
Climb at the normal climb speed.
Procedure during an approach : If a windshear is encountered,
Initiate a normal go around procedure with
10 pitch
.
When positively climbing at a safe altitude, retract the gear and complete the normal
go around procedure.
CAUTION : The positive rate of climb must be verified on at least two instruments.
COMMENTS : 1. Leaving the gear down until the climb is established will allow to
absorb some energy on impact, should the microburst exceed the
aircraft capability to climb.
2. Ten degrees pitch attitude is the best compromise to ensure a
climbing path together with an acceptable maximum AOA.

NORMAL TAXI
CAUTION : If blue hydraulic circuit is pressurized, nose wheel steering has to be
switched off for towing by a ground vehicle.
- The ATR 72 is particularly easy to taxi, and even on one engine, there are no
limitations to go either forward or rearward : this flexibility should be systematically
used and is reflected in the standard operating procedure which assumes HOTEL
MODE operation of engine 2 prior to and during passenger boarding followed by initial
taxi on engine 2 only (including back track if taxi backwards required).
This procedure is highly recommended as GI power is quite sufficient on one engine only
to perform all taxiing (OUT and IN) and very obviously reduces block fuel by an amount
which may become VERY SIGNIFICANT on large airports.
CAUTION : Start up of engine 1 should be performed in a portion of taxi where captain
workload is low enough to allow an efficient monitoring of the start up.
- Use of brakes during taxiing may be very much reduced by systematic use of a small
amount of reverse when deceleration is needed.
- Radius of turn with nose wheel steering is very good and does not require any braking
ON THE INNER WHEELS.
CAUTION : PIVOTING (Sharp turns) UPON A LANDING GEAR WITH FULLY BRAKED
WHEELS IS NOT ALLOWED, except in emergency.
TAXI WITH FAILURES
TAXI WITH NOSE WHEEL STEERING OFF (or without blue HYD pressure)
D Obviously SINGLE ENGINE TAXI is no more possible
D Taxiing remains very easy with both engines operating EEC ON :
directional control is achieved primarily with differential power on engines, possibly
augmented by use of differential braking.
D Avoid sharp turns : turn radius without nose wheel steering should be limited to
about half turn radius with nose wheel steering.
TAXI WITH EEC OFF
On ground EEC off, engine response is somewhat degraded. Nevertheless, as long as at
least one engine is maintained at or below GI, the corresponding NP should remain high
enough to keep associated ACW GEN available and thus maintain both HYD pumps.
CAUTION : When taxiing with both EEC OFF, AVOID pushing both PL above GI to avoid
transient loss of ACW and MAIN HYD PUMPS.
Note : NOSE WHEEL steering remains available in all cases together with STBY
braking, through DC AUX pump.

During engine start or relighting, the following items must be monitored.
- Correct NH increase when starting the sequence.
- Starter disconnection at 45 % NH.
- Maximum ITT : during a battery start one or two ITT peaks not exceeding 800C may
usually be observed. ITT peaks are of lower value if a suitable GPU is used.

Engine control normally uses temperature, altitude and speed data from the selected
ADC but reverts to its own sensors in case of detected failure or significant offset.
TAT/SAT information are valid only when the engine (propeller unfeathered)
corresponding to the selected ADC is running.
RTO torques must be computed using altitude and temperature information independant
from aircraft sources and compared to values displayed by torque bugs.
Take off power is routinely obtained by setting the power levers and the condition levers
into the notches. If need tee, in order to match target torque bugs set according to
dependable data, it may be necessary to adjust the throttles out of the notches.
UNFEATHERING AFTER AN ENGINE RESTART IN FLIGHT
Unfeathering the propeller induces a limited lateral disturbance.
ENGINE PARAMETERS FLUCTUATION
In case of slight engine parameters fluctuation without any limit excedance, it can be
helpful to select the corresponding EEC OFF, before shutting the engine OFF.
If this action cures the problem, the flight can be continued accordingly.
MAN IGNITION
When one or both EEC (s) has (have) been deselected, the use of MAN ignition is
required when the aircraft penetrates heavy precipitation or severe turbulence areas,
when ice accretion develops or when using contaminated runway for take off or landing.
GO AROUND - POWER SET UP PROCEDURE
The throttle movement (PF) is to be applied accross the notch up to the ramp (beginning
of amber sector).
WARNING : Overriding the ramp threshold up to the absolute full travel will allow to
reach 1.15 x RTO TQ (EEC ON).
This should be used only is case of emergency.
CLs should be routinely stay into the notches. Np is automatically set at 100 % provided
PWR MGT is on TO position and PLA is sufficient (see 1.16.40).

ADAPTED FLIGHT IDLE
A low flight idle rating is associated with a significant increase of aerodynamic drag
profitable to the descent performance (approach and landing).
On the other hand, this increased drag penalises the lift at a high angle of attack.
The fulfillment of these two requirements has led to an adapted flight idle providing two
power settings.
The FI position being selected by the pilot, the power level (high or low) is set by the
EEC's, as a function of an information provided by the MFC's.
This information is associated with a limit angle of attack equal to stall warning -4.
In case of high flight idle loss the aircraft behaviour during stall unchanged and the
decrease of lift is negligible and covered by the regulatory margins.
PROPELLER BRAKE USE
Propeller brake must be used only when READY light on propeller brake control panel is
illuminated.
1 - BRAKING SEQUENCE (ENG 2 Running)
Notes : The DC AUX pump runs automatically as soon as
- blue hydraulic pressure is below 1500 PSI and,
- gear is down and,
- one engine is running
and stops 15 seconds after the end of prop braking sequence (PROP BRK lights
illuminated).

TAKE OFF AND LANDING RUNS
- Proper crew coordination is required in order to hold the control column at all times
and prevent excessive elevator or aileron deflections due to wind and/or reversed air
flow from propellers.
The control column is initially held.
D in pitch : fully nose down, then slowly relaxed as speed increases.
D in roll : neutral or deflected TOWARD the wind in case of crosswind component, as
appropriate to maintain wings essentially level.
Note : Excessive aileron deflections should be avoided as they affect directional
control.
- For take-off, use of nose wheel steering guidance is only recommended for the very
first portion of the take off run as rudder becomes very rapidly efficient when airspeed
increases (
~
40 kts) and ATR 72 exhibits a natural tendency to go straight.
- Action on nose wheel tiller should be smooth and progressive, particularly as ground
speed increases.
- Rudder must not be cycled during take-off, particularly the first portion where nose
wheel is used: combination of unnecessary rudder cycling (with an increasingly
efficient rudder) and nose wheel control would then lead to
uncomfortable oscillations.
- Rolling take-off technique
In order not to increase the take-off distances, power must be set quickly during the
last phase of the line up turn.
- for landing or aborted take off, control column holding must be transferred to the
co-pilot when the captain takes the nose wheel steering.
If reverse is used, at low speeds and with high power, the reversed air flow may
shake violently the flight controls, particularly with no crosswind: the control column
must be held very firmly and/or, below 30 kts, the GUST LOCK may be engaged.

APPROACH
- The deceleration capabilities of the ATR 72 provide a good operational
advantage which should be used extensively: decelerated approaches reduce noise,
minimize time and fuel burn and allow better integration in big airports. This is why
they have been described as the standard approaches in section 2.02.10 (flight
patterns).
- Initial approach speed will vary with ATC constrainsts and turbulence, but may be up
to 240 Kts.
- Initial approach speed may be maintained on a typical 3 glide slope down to the
following height above runway:
NP DECLARATION HEIGHT
82 % (IAS x 10) ft
Configuration changes should be made at VLE VFE when decelerating. This procedure
allows to reach VAPP speed at 500 ft above runway.
Note : If deceleration rate on approach appears unsufficient, it is always possible to
increase it by setting NPs on 100 OVRD, but at the expense of an increased
interior noise.

LANDING
In order to minimize landing distance variations the following procedure is
recommended :
D Maintain standard final approach slope (3) and final VAPP until 20 ft is called on
radioaltimeter.
D At 20ft call by PNF, reduce to FI and flare visually as required.
Note : 20 ft leaves ample time for flare control from a standard 3 final slope.
- During this flare the airspeed will necessary decrease, leading to a touch down
speed of 5 to 10 kt lower than the stabilized approach speed.
D As soon as main landing gear is on ground.
- Control nose wheel impact
- Both PL : GI
- Both LO PITCH lights : check illuminated.
CAUTION : If a thrust dissymetry occurs or if one LO PITCH light is not
illuminated, the use of any reverser is not allowed.
In this case the propeller pitch change mechanism is probably locked
at a positive blade angle, leading to a positive thrust for any PL
position.
- use foot brakes as required
- as speed reduces, and not later than about 40 kt (estimated) Capt takes NWS
control, co-pilot hold control column fully forward.
Notes : 1. Max reverse is usable down to full stop if required, but to minimize flight
control shaking due to reverse operation at high powers, it is helpful to
release slowly PL back to GI when reaching low ground speeds (below
40 kt estimated).
2. Max braking is usable without restriction down to full stop, whatever the
runway conditions may be, provided ANTISKID is operative.
3. The tail bumper (with damping capabilities) effectively protect the tail in case
of excessive attitude (resulting from prolonged/floating flares) provided the
rate of sink at touchdown does not exceed 5 ft/sec.

INTRODUCTION
The engine power control is achieved by power lever (PL) and condition lever
(CL).
These controls act on three main components:
R - Propeller Electronic Control or PEC
- Hydromechanical Unit or HMU
- Electronic Control or EEC
The main engine power setting parameter is torque.
The maximum torque value for a given flight phase is defined by the FDAU and
displayed by a bug (FDAU target) on torque indicator. The crew has to set the
PWR MGT selector to the position corresponding to the flight phase and to set
the power lever in the notch or on the ramp in case of GO AROUND or for TO in
uptrim inoperative case : in these conditions, the controlled torque matches the
maximum target torque displayed by the FDAU (except for TO position : TO
power is delivered but RTO power is displayed by the automatic bug).
ENGINE RATINGS
Take-off
This rating corresponds to the normal, derated take-off thrust. It is normally
time limited to 5 minutes.
Reserve take-off
This rating corresponds to the maximum thrust certified for take-off. It is
automatically selected by the ATPCS system in case of engine failure. Time
limit is 10 minutes.
Maximum continuous
The maximum continuous rating corresponds to the maximum thrust
certified for continuous use.
IT MUST ONLY BE USED TO ENSURE SAFE FLIGHT IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY, PARTICULARLY ENGINE FAILURE.
Maximum climb
The maximum climb rating corresponds to the maximum thrust approved
for normal climb operation.
Maximum cruise
The maximum cruise rating corresponds to the maximum thrust approved
for normal cruise operation.
Go around
It is the maximum rating authorized for go-around.

TAKE-OFF CONDITIONS
Different weather conditions may be encountered at the take-off :
D NORMAL CONDITIONS
D ATMOSPHERIC ICING CONDITIONS
Atmospheric icing conditions exist when OAT on the ground and for take off is at or below
5 C or when TAT in flight is at or below 7 C and visible moisture in any form is present
(clouds, fog with visibility of less than one mile, rain, snow, sleet and ice crystals).
D GROUND ICING CONDITIONS
Ground icing conditions exist when OAT on the ground is at or below 5 C and when
surface snow, standing water, or slush is present on the ramps, taxiways and runways.
Note : TAKE-OFF IS PROHIBITED when frost, snow or ice is adhering to the wings,
control surfaces or propellers.
Different runway conditions may be encountered:
D dry
D wet (less than 1/8 inch or 3 mm of water)
D contaminated by:
- water or slush between 1/8 and 1/2 inch (3 and 12,7 mm)
- loose snow : must be considered as slush. To determine the equivalent slush
depth, multiply the loose snow depth by : 1,25 x (actual loose snow density)
- compact snow
- ice
D damp : a runway is damp when it is not perfectly dry, but when the water does not
give it a shiny appearance.
For a damp runway, we do not consider any performance limitation.

D NORMAL CONDITIONS
The V2/VSR speed ratio may be optimized between 1.13 and 1.25.
D ICING CONDITIONS
Minimum manoeuvre/operating speeds must be increased to keep a sufficient margin
with regart to VS1g. The V2/VSR speed ratio must at least be equal to 1,22.

METHOD
D take the shorter length of ASDA and TODA, i.e 1 870 m
D Iocate this length on the length axis (point A)
D reaching first the reference fine, correct this length according to the runway slope
(0,6) and wind value (10) following the arrows
D in the altitudes/temperatures field select the iso-altitude i.e. 3 000 ft
RESULT
D after corrections, the point A is transferred to A' on the iso-altitude line 3 000 ft and
determines the upper temperature limit, i.e.+ 20.5C.
The lower temperature limit is defined by the point C i.e. - 20C.
The runway is NOT LIMITING for temperatures between - 20C and + 20.5C.
ICING ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
Same assumptions than in the preceding example but wet runway, and pressure
altitude = 0 ft and ASDA = TODA = 1890 m.
METHOD
D take the shorter length of ASDA and TODA, i.e. 1 890 m
D apply the length decrement due to contamination condition, i.e. 140 m, you obtain
an equivalent length of 1 750 m (point B)

AIR CONDITIONING
Take-off performances are computed with AIR CONDITIONING ON.
To take into account the effect of AIR CONDITIONING OFF, increase the runway lengths by
3 % and take the actual OAT.
Note : The FOS, in accordance with AFM, takes into account a conservative
performance decrement linked to the thermodynamical limitation of the engine.
If the day conditions authorize a mechanical limit operation of the engine (i.e.
torque bleed ON = 90 % for TO and 100 % for RTO), the take-off may be performed
air conditioning ON without performance penalty.

WIND
Decrease the runway length by 400 m (1320 ft) for 10 kt tailwind.
QNH
To use a chart computed at the standard pressure when the actual QNH is not standard,
follow the hereafter procedure :
1) With the actual wind and temperature, if necessary corrected by air conditioning
influence, enter the chart and read the take-off weight and the associated limitation.
2) Apply the QNH correction :
QNH > 1013.25 HPa or 29.92 in Hg
No credit in case of brakes energy limitation, keep the values of the chart.
For all other limitations, add 80 kg (175 lb) to the TOW for each 10 HPa (0.29 in Hg)
above the standard pressure.
For QNH q 1050 Hpa, keep the values of 1050 HPa.
QNH < 1013.25 HPa or 29.92 in Hg
Substract 240 kg (530 lb) to the TOW for each 10 HPa (0.29 in Hg) below the
standard pressure.
3) With the new TOW, enter again the chart to interpolate the take-off speeds.

The QRT are computed on a dry runway at standard pressure, with air conditioning ON, no
wind, no obstacle, and no slope.
Entry parameters must be determined as indicated in 3.03.02 P 3.
NORMAL CONDITIONS
The QRT are computed with V2/VSR = 1,143 and V1/VR = 1.
ICING CONDITIONS
The QRT are computed with V2/VSR = 1,231 and V1/VR = 1.
In case of ground icing conditions, if atmospheric icing conditions does not exist, the
V2/VSR speed ratio may be the same as in normal conditions.
Note : All regulatory limitations are taken into account in the QRT, except the structural
limitation.
When the QRT indicates a weight value above the certified structural value, that
means that the runway is NL in the conditions of computation of the QRT.
In any cases, the actual TOW must always be less than the certified MTOW
associated to the operated ATR version.

INTRODUCTION
CLIMB

JUL 98

3.04.01
Climb charts are established for two indicated speeds (170 kt, 190 kt) and for
standard temperature (ISA) at Climb Power with Air conditioning in normal mode.
Corrections are given to take into account the temperature effect.
All charts are established with a center of gravity location corresponding to 25%.
When using air conditioning in high mode, increase fuel consumption by 10%.
SERVICE CEILING
The operational ceiling is the maximum altitude which can be reached with a minimum
rate of climb of 300 fit/mn.
CLIMB IN ICING CONDITIONS
Atmospheric icing conditions exist when TAT in flight is at or below 7C and visible
moisture in any form is present (clouds, fog with visibility of less than one mile, rain,
snow, sleet and ice crystals).
Climb charts in icing conditions are established for 170 kt at climb Power with Air
conditioning in normal mode.
Performance are computed taking into account a degradation of aircraft
aerodynamic at altitudes where icing conditions may be encountered.
That is why tables are given for different temperatures (ISA-20, ISA-10, ISA,
ISA + 10, ISA + 20).
Since computed with a lower residual rate of climb in icing conditions than in normal
conditions, the operational ceiling may sometimes be greater in icing conditions.
IN THIS CASE DO NOT EXCEED THE CEILING COMPUTED FOR NORMAL
CONDITIONS.
Note : All performance data given for ICING CONDITIONS derive from flight tests
measurements performed with ICE SHAPES representative of the worst icing
cases considered by certification and applicable losses of propeller efficiency.
Because of the variability of REAL ICING, climb performance published for icing
conditions MUST BE regarded as operational information only.

INTRODUCTION
CRUISE
P 1
DEC 97

3.05.01
Cruise charts are established from FL 60 to FL 250 for different ISA conditions with air
conditioning in normal mode.
To reach cruise figures :
- level off
- keep climb torque
- when cruise IAS is obtained :
select CRZ on PWR MGT
When using air conditioning in high mode increase fuel consumption by 3%, and
subtract 4 kt on True Airspeed.
All charts are established with a center of gravity location corresponding to 25 %.
Max Cruise tables are given with NP = 82 %.
CRUISE IN ICING CONDITIONS
moisture in any form is present (clouds, fog with visibility of less than one mile, rain,
snow, sleet and ice crystals).
Tables are established only for the altitudes where icing conditions may be encountered
and for different temperatures (ISA - 20, ISA -10, ISA, ISA + 10, ISA + 20).
When using air conditioning in high mode, increase fuel consumption by 1.5% and
subtract 10 kt on True Airspeed.
Note : All performance data given for ICING CONDITIONS derive from flight tests
measurements performed with ICE SHAPES representative of the worst icing
cases considered by certification and applicable losses of propeller efficiency.
Because of the variability of REAL ICING, cruise performance published for icing
conditions MUST BE regarded as operational information only.

3.06.01
Holding charts are established :
- in clean configuration
- with air conditioning in normal mode.
- with NP = 82 % propeller speed
- at VmHBO of icing conditions.
This minimum manoeuvring speed covers the whole flight envelope in normal
conditions and in icing conditions without appreciable increasing of
consumption.
When using air conditioning in high mode, fuel consumption is increased by 2%.
All charts are established with a center of gravity location corresponding to 25 %.
The temperature effect is negligible.
ICING CONDITIONS
moisture in any form is present (clouds, fog with visibility of less than one mile, rain, snow,
sleet and ice crystals).

INTRODUCTION
DESCENT
P 1
JUL 98
500
3.07.01
Descent charts are established in clean configuration for one reference weight
(15000 kg = 33000 lb) and 3 speed laws :
- 200 kt
- 220 kt
- 240 kt
Two kinds of descent are proposed :
D at given rate
from cruise altitude, descent at 1500 ft/mn (or 2000 ft/mn with pressurization in
FAST mode)
1) set cruise PLA up to the desired descent speed
2) maintain descent speed and rate of descent
D at given gradient
from cruise altitude, descent at chosen gradient (3 with pressurization in NORMAL
mode, 4 or 5 with pressurization in FAST mode)
1) set cruise PLA up to the desired descent speed
2) maintain descent speed and gradient of descent
From 1500 ft to final landing, the tables are calculated with time and fuel allowances of :
- 3 mn for the time
- 30 kg (66 lb) for the consumption
WEIGHT CORRECTION
D on fuel consumption
Increase the fuel consumption by :
+ 4 % at 1500 ft/mn of rate of descent
+ 5 % at 2000 ft/mn of rate of descent
+ 2 % at 3 descent gradient
for a 1000 kg (2200 lb) weight decrease.
D No correction for weight increase.
D No influence on time and distance.

LANDING DISTANCES
APPROACH-LANDING
P 1
JUN 97

GENERAL
The actual distance to land an aircraft and come to a complete stop, is measured from
a point 50 ft above the landing surface. This point is supposed to be above the
threshold.
The deceleration mean is the normal braking system, antiskid being operative and both
PL at Gl (no reverse).
To determine the required runway length for landing, apply national operational
regulation.
For information purpose, the actual landing distances are given on contamined or wet
runways.
Different cases may be considered :
D Normal landing - No significant failure:
Check before departure that available runway length with forecasted landing weight
is at least equal to the required landing length
D Abnormal landing - Significant failure known before departure (in accordance
with MEL) :
Check before departure that available runway length is at least equal to actual
landing distance, taking into account performance abatements due to failures and is
increased by operational regulatory coefficients.
D Abnormal landing - Significant failure resulting from in-flight events :
Check before landing that available runway length is at least equal to actual landing
distance, taking into account performance abatements due to failures.

CORRECTION ON LANDING DISTANCES
Wind : dry or wet runway
add 10 % per 5 kt tailwind
subtract 2 % per 5 kt headwind
contaminated runway
add 16 % per 5 kt tailwind
subtract 2 % per 5 kt heawind
Airport elevation : dry or wet runway
add 3 % per 1000 ft above sea level
contaminated runway
add 5 % per 1000 ft above sea level
Effect of reverse: landing distances are decreased by
4 % on dry runway
7 % on wet runway
7 % on runway contaminated by water or slush
8 % on runway contaminated by compact snow
30 % on runway contaminated by ice
Caution : On contaminated runway, performances without reverser only are to be used for
flight preparation.
Note : Landing on damp runway
A runway is damp when it is not perfectly dry, but when the water which is on it does
not give a shiny appearance.
For damp runway, we consider no performance limitation.

CAUTION
1. FOS results must be verified against the Airplane Flight Manual performance data.
In case of any discrepancy, the AFM performance data shall prevail.
2. It is the Operator's responsibility to update this chart in case of any change in runway
or obstacle characteristics or in case of amendment of the AFM performance data.
Example :
. Tail wind : 5 kt
. Wet runway
. Temperature : 15_C
The maximum landing weight (Regulatory Landing Weight) is 18 483 kg because of the

RECOMMENDED FUEL REQUIREMENTS
The total fuel quantity required to fly a given sector is the sum of the following
quantities :
A. TAXI FUEL
Quantity required for start up and TAXI (average quantity 2 mn/14 kg - 30 lb)
B. TRIP FUEL
Fuel required from departure to destination includes the following quantities :
-Take-off and initial climb (average quantity 1 mn/24 kg - 53 lb)
-Climb at selected speed
-Cruise
-Descent from cruising level to 1.500 ft above destination airport
-Approach and landing (average quantity 3 mn/30 kg - 66 lb)
C. EN ROUTE" RESERVE FUEL
According to national regulations and company policy (generally based on a
percentage of TRIP FUEL).
D. ALTERNATE FUEL
Fuel required to fly from destination to alternate airport. It includes
go-around climb to cruising level, cruise at long range speed, descent and
approach procedure.
E. HOLDING FUEL
Fuel required for holding, calculated at minimum drag speed with the estimated mass
or arrival at the alternate or the destination aerodrome, when no alternate is required.
FLIGHT PLAN
When no FOS precalculated flight plan is available, flight planning can be determined by
using the graph given in 3.10.02 with a good approximation.
Computations include the average quantities for taxi in and out, take-off initial climb,
approach and landing.
5 % of trip fuel is included in the computation.

Tutorial Flight No. 1
TFFR to TFFF


ATR 72-500
Tutorial Flight 1 TFFR - TFFF
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Flight One ATR 72-500 package and welcome to this tropical tutorial flight.
As this ATR 72-500 is simulated as close as possible to the real thing the tutorial flight will follow a real flight too: Air
Caraibes flight TX 6509.
This flight is scheduled to leave Point-a-Pitre, Le Raizet airport (icao code: TFFR) on the wonderful island of
Guadelope at 15:15h local time and should land some 45 minutes later at Fort de France Le Lamentin airport (icao
code: TFFF), Martinique.
This tutorial is structured similar to the normal procedures chapter from the real aircraft manual with some additional
comments and explanations here and there. Thus the structuring is close to the normal procedures checklist:
1. Preliminary cockpit preparation
2. System Preparation
3. Final Cockpit Preparation
4. Before Taxi
5. Taxiing
6. Before Take Off
7. After Take Off
8. Cruise
9. Descent
10.Approach
11.Before Landing
12.After Landing
13.Parking
14.Leaving the aircraft
Before jumping into the aircraft some planning has to be done and flight simulator must be started but don't break into
a run yet please. You'll get the most from this tutorial by reading it thoroughly from start to end before starting this
tutorial flight so you get a rough idea what is waiting for you.
Also do not hesitate to use the pause button at all. The aircraft is complex and normally there are two people doing the
stuff you now want to do all alone.
Okay, I'll stop babbling now and lets get going ...
Another quick note: Please read the following section regarding Flight Planning prior to firing up your flight simulator
and loading the ATR as some adjustements have to be completed for the tutorial flight !
In case you want to get charts for flying around these airports, try the following source:

ATR 72-500
Flight Planning
Flight planning generally splits up into two parts:
Weather briefing
Route planning & Weight and balance fuel planning
Weather Briefing
A weather theme is provided for this tutorial so that everybody may fly in the same weather conditions. Simply load the
'Flight One ATR 72-500 Tutorial' weather theme to get the following conditions:
Departure airport Le Raizet airport, TFFR:
winds: 310 @ 08 gusts up to 7
clouds: OVC @ 1,300', SCT (4/8) @ 10,600'
precipitation: light rain
visibility: 16,000m
altimeter: 30.12 / 1020 mbar
temperature: 29C
dew point: 24C
active runway 29
Enroute weather:
winds: 335 @ 17 @ 06,600', gradual shear, light turbulences
341 @ 21 @ 09,800', gradual shear
354 @ 24 @ 13,100', gradual shear
000 @ 30 @ 16,400', gradual shear
clouds: BKN (5/8) @ 4,400'
SCT (2/8) @ 8,900'
Arrival airport Le Lamentin airport, TFFF:
winds: 310 @ 08 gusts up to 7
clouds: SCT (2/8) @ 8,900'
precipitation: none
visibility: 16,000m
temperature: 29C
dew point: 24C
active runway 27
A quick but very important note on using weather themes:
Ensure the the aircraft is positioned correctly before (!!!) loading the weather theme. Weather themes are not directly
dependant of locations they just create preset weather conditions around the place where the aircraft is located when
the theme is loaded. Sounds more complicated than it actually is: When your aircraft is still located in Seattle and you
load the tutorial weather theme then the weather will be set according the above parameters around Seattle. In case
you switch to Point-a-Pitre afterwards the preset weather conditions are lost as weather themes only influence weather
in little areas ... So:
1.) Set the correct location (Le Raizet airport)
2.) Load the weather theme !

Route Planning and Weight & Balance
The routing is rather simple:
Depart from runway 29, follow DOM 3W SID out of TFFR, then follow DOM3G STAR into TFFF and then follow the
approach to runway 27 (which is a VOR approach).
As an alternate airport St. Lucia's Hewanorra airport, TLPL is included in the flight planning.
The following flight plan was created with FOC (Flight Operation Center), programmed by Urs Wildermuth and Heinz
Oetiker:

Starting up the simulator
1. Open the ATR Configuration Manager
2. Go to the Weight and Balance Load Manager Screen and select the following
68 passengers: 37 Men, 22 Women, 5 Children and 4 Crew members equals a payload of 10,693 lbs / 4,850 kg
1,214 lbs / 551 kg of cargo in the forward cargo compartment
820 lbs / 372 kg of cargo in the aft cargo compartment
Thus the Zero Fuel Weight should read 42,489 lbs / 19,273 kg
Press SAVE !
3. Proceed to the Instrument Panels Setting Screen and select your favourite view but more important select startup
with cold and dark cockpit.
Press SAVE !
4. Exit the ATR Configuration manager
5. Start up flight simulator
6. In case you start with the create flight menu:
Select the following items:
Aircraft: Cessna 172 Standard aircraft
Airport: Le Raizet, Point a Pitre, TFFR position Gate N3 or any other parking position of your choice
Weather: 'Fair Weather' weather theme we'll change the weather theme later on
Time: Select 14:20 local time
Start up the simulator
If you start your simulator otherwise be sure to start it with a default aircraft and then select the items similar to
above from the menus within flight simulator.
7. When the scenery is loaded and the flight simulator is started up you may open the aircraft menu, open and select
the Flight One ATR 72-500 in Air Caraibes colours.
Press the OPEN button
8. Now the cockpit of the ATR should come into view with everything cold and dark.
9. Open the World, Weather menu and select the 'Flight 1 ATR72-500 Tutorial' weather theme
10.Open the aircraft, fuel and payload menu and set fuel in each tank to 1138 lbs / 516 kg !
Flightsimulator will automatically select 1,136.9 lbs but that's fine too.
So let's start up the aircraft ...
Beware !
Before loading the ATR the simulator must be loaded with a default aircraft (Cessna, Boeing 737 or
such).
Starting up the sim with the ATR loaded will lead to problems !

ATR 72-500
The Tutorial Flight
As mentioned before the tutorial follows the structuring of the normal procedures ... therefore you'll get the most from
this tutorial when you print out the normal procedures checklists as the tutorial covers all the steps but offers
explanations for some items. There won't be an explanation for every single item.
Especially the cockpit preparation follows standard scan sequences for which screenshots will be provided.
Nevertheless every flight starts with the outside check so lets take a closer look at the ATR:
Exterior Checklist
To enhance the realism of this tutorial open the doors now (Shift + E, Open Door command) so you can enter the
aircraft and to get the proper indications during some tests later on.
Normally the exterior check is completed by maintenance personel or the first officer. The walk around check as it is
called too is done according the following 'route'
Several items are checked at each station these items are left out in this tutorial as they are not simulated so just
have a closer look at your brand new ATR what a beauty ...
When you have finished gazing at the ATR we can continue with the tutorial and power up the ATR.

ATR 72-500
Preliminary cockpit preparation
At first the aircraft needs electrical power, so the batteries must be switched on. The switches for the batteries can be
found on the overhead panel.
When the aircraft is powered up the self-test sequence of the Multi Function Computers MFCs is initiated. Check the
CCAS & MFC Chapter of the manual for more information.
1. BATTERIES
Set BAT toggle switch ON
Check MFC 1A and MFC 2A FAULT lights flash
Check MFC 1A and MFC 2A FAULT lights extinguish and MFC 1B and MFC 2B FAULT lights flash
Check MFC 1B and MFC 2B FAULT lights extinguish
Check EMER BUS and ESS BUS supply indicator arrows illuminated
Check UNDV light extinguished
Now check the parking brake sufficient brake pressure must be available to set the parking brake. The pressure
indicator is located on the center panel (Shift+5) next to the gear lever.
2. PARKING BRAKE
Check BRAKE ACCU pressure
Use HYD AUX PUMP if necessary
Set handle to PARKING (Ctrl + .)
Now move to the engine control panel (Shift + 6) to check the throttle controls.
See the powerplant chapter of the manual for more information.
3. ENGINE
Both Power Levers, PL on GI (Ground Idle)
Both Condition Levers, CL on FUEL SO (Fuel Shutoff)
Both EEC selected ON
Bothe PEC selected ON
The gust lock is controlled by a click spot on the engine control panel check the Powerplant chapter, Power Levers
section for more detail on the gust lock.
4. FLIGHT CONTROLS
Check GUST LOCK engaged
The lever should be at the lower end
Check/Set FLAPS control lever position to agree with actual flaps position (the flaps indicator is located on the
center panel so proceed ...)
Back to the center panel ... and check the
5. LANDING GEAR
Check control lever DOWN
8
ATR 72-500
The wipers switch can be found on the overhead panel
6. WIPERS
Check both WIPER rotary selectors at OFF position
As the right engine (engine No. 2) will be started soon to provide electrical power, the fire protection circuits must be
checked first.
The fire test controls are located on the overhead panel.
GPU means Ground Power Unit it is also possible to supply electrical and pneumatic power to the aircraft using such
a GPU.
7. ENG 2 FIRE PROTECTION (ONLY WITHOUT USE OF GPU)
Check ENG 2 fire handle IN and latched
Extinguish any white light
Depress SQUIB TEST pushbutton and check both AGENT SQUIB lights illuminate
Select TEST switch on FIRE and check:
ENG FIRE red light illuminates into associated fire handle
CCAS is activated (CRC + Master Warning light flashing red & ENG 2 FIRE red light on CAP)
A CRC is a continuous repetitive chime and normally indicates a warning which requires immediate crew action.
See the CCAS & MFC chapter for more information
FUEL ShutOff red light illuminates in CL 2 if temporarily selected out of FUEL SO
Select TEST switch on FAULT and check:
both LOOP A and LOOP B FAULT lights illuminate
The right engine needs fuel to run in hotel mode :-)
Fuel controls are to be found on the overhead panel.
8. FUEL (ONLY WITHOUT USE OF GPU)
Select ENG 2 PUMP ON
Check RUN light illuminates
Check FEED LO PR light extinguishes
Check LP VALVE in line
To prevent the batteries from draining another source of electrical power must be established. The ATR does not offer
an APU but one can run the right engine in the so called hotel mode. That means that the engine/turbine itself is
running but the propeller is braked down to stand still. Thus the engine is running normally without the propeller turning.
Check the Powerplant chapter, Hotel Mode section for more information.
This checklist item prepares the engine for hotel mode by activating the propeller brake. Hydraulic pressure is
necessary to activate the propeller brake and as no Ground Power Unit, GPU which could provide electrical power is
available the aircraft must produce hydraulic pressure itself. The auxilliary hydraulic pump is able to provide hydraulic
pressure to the hydraulic system when the AUX PUMP PEDESTAL SWITCH (auxiliary hydraulic pump switch which is
located on the pedestal) is pressed.
Before doing so check that the Propeller brake is ready by verifying that the READY light on the overhead panel next to
the propeller brake switch is illuminated.
9. AUX PUMP PEDESTAL SWITCH
Press
Check hydraulic power is available (check pressure indicators on the main (condensed view) or center (Captains or
First Officer's view) panel depending on the view configuration
Open the overhead panel
9
ATR 72-500
Now the propeller brake can be activated. Proceed to the overhead panel and move the propeller brake switch to ON.
10. PROPELLER BRAKE (HOTEL MODE ONLY)
UNLK light illuminates while brake is in transit
Check ON light illuminated, UNLK light extinguished
Check PROP BRK light illuminated on memo panel
To establish communication between Air Traffic Control and the cockpit, you have to switch on Com 1 you can find it
on the pedestal panel (can be accessed pressing Shift+2).
11. COM
Set VHF 1 to ON
12. DOORS
Cockpit communication hatch opened (as required)
The Beacon must be switched on to provide a visual warning for everybody outside the plane that the engines are to be
started or already running. Don't mix it up with the strobe though. The Beacon control switch is located on the overhead
panel.
13. BEACON
Set BEACON switch to BEACON
Okay, now prepare to start engine No. 2 just follow the steps of item 'ENG 2 START (ONLY WITHOUR USE OF
GPU)'.
You will need three panels to perform the engine start:
the overhead panel (Shift + 4)
the center panel (Shift + 5)
the engine control panel (Shift + 6)
14. ENG 2 START (ONLY WITHOUT USE OF GPU)
Check EEC FAULT light extinguished
EEC fault light is located on the center panel or on the main panel too in case you use the condensed captains view
Check PEC FAULT light extinguished
PEC fault light is located on the main panel
Now open the overhead panel
Set ENG START rotary selector to START A & B
ENGT START rotary selector is located on the overhead panel
Check engine and propeller area clear
Check outside views
Depress START 2 pushbutton, ON light illuminates (starter electrically supplied)
START pushbuttons are located on the overhead panel
Close the overhead panel, open the center panel and the engine control panel !
Monitor engine rotation (NH)

Now power and bleed air supply for the air-condition is established. Sit back for a second as the system preparation is
waiting for you with lots of items to work through ...
System Preparation
During preparation of the aircraft the cockpit crew works through the different panels. For all panels so called scan
sequences are published by the aircraft manufactor.
These scan sequences advise the cockpit crew how to work through all these panels. For each panel the scan
sequence will be shown.
Normally the system preparation is done by the first officer but we are lucky we have to do everything that is normally
split up for a crew of 2.
System preparation starts with two items not directly associated to a panel by a scan sequence:
1. INTERNAL LIGHTING
Set as required
2. GEAR PINS
Check three on board and stowed
Now let's move to the overhead panel:
12
ATR 72-500
The keyword in modern aircraft is panel scan sequences. The following graphic shows the scan sequence for the
overhead panel. You will notice that the items listed below follow the arrows included in the graphic.
These arrows will lead you through the panel, thus simply follow at first No. 1, then No. 2 and so on. A short note in the
text will indicate when the next column is reached.
Column 1
SELCAL means Selective Calling. Actually it is not simulated but you can read more on SELCAL in the
communications chapter of the manual.

ATR 72-500
If significant vibrations occur
Cls 100 ORVD for not less than 5 minutes
Open the FMS again and check the PROGRESS page the ATR does not offer VNAV guidance so you should keep
an eye on the FMS as you don't want to pass the Top-of-Descent.
Maybe you already noticed the 'glideslope' bar displayed on the EADI and the EHSI. Instead of a 'G' a 'V' is indicated
telling you that it indicates vertical deviation. The FMS computes a vertical path by the given altitude constraints and
displays the deviation of the aircraft from this vertical path. Keep in mind that the cruise phase is not indicated, thus the
deviation while in cruise is normal !
You can check the vertical deviation on the second page of the PROGRESS page too. There it is indicated in feet as
you can see in the graphic below indicating a Vertical track Error (VTK Error) of +518 ft which means I am 518 below
(!) the computed path.
In the second line on the right the required vertical speed (VS REQ) is indicated to reach the given altitude contraints.
As you approach the ToD (Top of Descend) the green bar moves down and you should try to catch the bar
remember that the ATR's VNAV is a advisory VNAV only, thus you have to select vertical autopilot modes manually.
When the vertical difference is around 1,000 ft set the preset-altitude on the autopilot panel to 2,200 ft. The ALT Hold
mode remains active and to start the descend you have to select the VS or IAS mode to start the descend.
Remember to bring back the throttle to Flight Idle (One click with the right mouse button) as you don't want to gain too
much speed during descend.
For this tutorial select VS (Vertical speed) mode and select -1,500 ft as a initial sink rate. Check with the PROGRESS
page which descend speed is needed and adjust the aircrafts sink rate if necessary.
Keep an eye on airspeed as you don't want to go too fast. Something around 240 kts is fine.
Descent
Check the weather at Fort-de-France by dialing in the ATIS frequency of 127.85 MHz into COM 2.
Check that the Transmission keys are set to BOTH on the Audio Control Panel, so you will listen to BOTH radios COM
1 and 2 simulatenously.

Tutorial Flight No. 2
EDDM to LIPE


ATR 72-500
Tutorial Flight 2 EDDM - LIPE
Introduction
Welcome to this second tutorial flight. Before you try this flight you should consider flying the other tutorial 'Tutorial 1
TFFR TFFF' first.
Several explanations are shortened in this tutorial in comparison to the first tutorial so be sure to start with tutorial 1
which leads you into the nice carribbean ...

The covered flight is taken from the real word again. It will take you from Franz-Josef-Strauss airport, Munich
(EDDM) to Bologna's Borgo Panigale airport (LIPE). The flight is carried out by Air Dolomiti under flight number EN
3984 and leaves Munich at 15.05 and should arrive in Bologna at 16:25.
This tutorial is structured similar to the normal procedures chapter from the real aircraft manual with some additional
comments and explanations here and there (like the first tutorial). Thus the structuring is close to the normal
procedures checklist:
1. Preliminary cockpit preparation
2. System Preparation
3. Final Cockpit Preparation
4. Before Taxi
5. Taxiing
6. Before Take Off
7. After Take Off
8. Cruise
9. Descent
10.Approach
11.Before Landing
12.After Landing
13.Parking
14.Leaving the aircraft
Again the tutorial will at first deal with pre-flight preparations such as flight planning. It might prove sensible to read this
tutorial once before trying to fly it.
In case you want to get charts for flying around these airports, try the following source:

Flight Planning
Flight planning generally splits up into two parts:
Weather briefing
Route planning & Weight and balance fuel planning
Weather Briefing
In spite of the first tutorial no weather theme will be provided for the second tutorial.
So you maybe want to try and use real weather (may it be static, or dynamic or even by using an external weather
program) ?

ATR 72-500
Route Planning and Weight & Balance
The routing in short is:
KPT5E-KPT / UL607-ALGOI / UM738-ADOSA / UP131-FER / DCT-BOA / ADOLO Arrival / RWY 12 BOA
In case this tells you nothing at all don't worry as an extended flight plan will be provided on the following pages.
More important is that the planned alternate airport is Florence Perentola, LIRQ
The following flight plan was created with FOC (Flight Operation Center), programmed by Urs Wildermuth and Heinz

Starting up the simulator
1. Open the ATR Configuration Manager
2. Go to the Weight and Balance Load Manager Screen and select the following
72 passengers: 37 Men, 27 Women, 4 Children and 4 Crew members equals a payload of 11,366 lbs / 5,136 kg
1,350 lbs / 612 kg of cargo in the forward cargo compartment
1,025 lbs / 465 kg of cargo in the aft cargo compartment
Thus the Zero Fuel Weight should read 43,503 lbs / 19,733 kg
Press SAVE !
3. Proceed to the Instrument Panels Setting Screen and select your favourite view but more important select startup
with cold and dark cockpit.
Press SAVE !
4. Exit the ATR Configuration manager

Weather: as you like
Time: Select 14:20 local time
Start up the simulator
If you start your simulator otherwise be sure to start it with a default aircraft and then select the items similar to
above from the menus within flight simulator.
7. When the scenery is loaded and the flight simulator is started up you may open the aircraft menu to select the Flight
One ATR 72-500 in Air Dolomiti colours (must be downloaded and installed seperately)
Press the OPEN button
8. Now the cockpit of the ATR should come into view with everything cold and dark.
9. Open the aircraft, fuel and payload menu and set fuel in each tank to 1,530 lbs / 694 kg !

So let's start up the aircraft ...
Beware !
Before loading the ATR the simulator must be loaded with a default aircraft (Cessna, Boeing 737 or
such).
Starting up the sim with the ATR loaded will lead to problems !
