Having flown this beauty for 22 years, I have followed the development of this aircraft from the 42-300, via the -500 variants, to the -600. It has been a wonderful journey, and I'm pleased to see that ATR doesn't rest on its laurels. The future is bright!
An absolutely fantastic presentation. Clearly presented and full of information without being too technical. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the 20 minutes watching this professional and well produced documentary. Well done to all involved in producing it.
As a New Zealander that regularly flies these planes via Air New Zealand, it was interesting to follow this tour. I enjoy the ride on these planes moreso than the jets. Thank you for the excellent video.
The best aspect about these ATRs' are that one can board and disembark in very short time compared to a conventional large Aircrafts, wherein one needs to await 200+passengers to board and disembark. The ATRs' also delightfully have a small turning radius and are pretty swift on ground movements.
O*U*T*S*T*A*N*D*I*N*G Excellent presentation. Very well paced, excellent photography, Excellent presenter, clear, concise and detailed. 10 out of 10. Exemplary. A standard for others to aspire to. Well done.
I was a pilot for American Eagle Executive Airlines in Puerto Rico when we flew the ATR. Passengers absolutely loved the plane. Great airplane. Looking forward to the -600 aircraft. Great video. Cheers.
Thank you for the insight into the production of ATR. For me, the ATR is the most beautiful turboprop airplane and I always enjoy seeing this aircraft in all its versions. That's why I bought the ATR for the MSFS and enjoy every free minute!
Hello ! I work with ATR in Brazil and I thought the video was fantastic. I'm a Mechanic Jr. and I'm in love with this machine. My first flight was on an ATR 42-200. I hope one day I can visit ATR's facilities and see this dream factory up close
Thankyou for guiding us through this intricate assembly of the ATR, you think you know most, but this just shows how the various manufacturers work together to deliver a very fuel efficient plane, that DOES the job, and very reliable as well. With the new engines from Pratt and Whitney coming in now, itll be even more efficient. ONce again thanks for taking the time to explain it.
Hats-off to the Team behind this documentary and the Presenter, ofcourse, for bringing this fantastic episode. I am not as much connected to the Aviation Industry but am super super impressed by the simple yet pertinent way the entire Assembly line and the Science & Technology behind Aircraft Assembly, has been presented. A big big thankyou. I have become your fan!
Back in the 90's I was in the air as much as some pilots. I would travel from one state to the next checking on the progress of machines being made for my company. I would fly from Indy to Detroit, Detroit to Rockford, Rockford to Nashville, Nashville to Charlotte, Charlotte back to Indy in 4 days. This was the plane I spent the most time in. Never let me down once!
Wow, this was a very professional and interesting tour! Thank you very much! I like the ATR planes a lot. If it looks right, it flies right! That is the case with the ATR.
I love this plane, the ATR in itself, I currently work with the SILVER AIRWAYS airline, which I love my job as an airline mechanic and to work again with this magnificent plane, the ATR 42-600 and ATR72-600.
J'adore l'ATR-72, il est très esthétique et ses moteurs ont une jolie "musique". Déjà emprunter en tant que passager en Polynésie Française (Air Tahiti), il est parfait pour les pistes courtes. Un vrai bijou ! 😍
It is possible that the world will one day see an ATR J meaning ATR Jet. ATR has a nice fuselage and a very high wing. Change the design of the wing and maybe the tail and stick a jet engine under the wing. Because of the high of the wing, there may be a lot of engine options, maybe a Pratt 1900.
It was a great, very detailed and interesting video. Thank you for this. Do you organize public visits of the line assembly from time to time? It would be amazing for the avgeek I am. Once again thank you
Turkey. I used to fly DeHavilland Dash-8 100/300 turboprops at my first airline job at Atlantic Coast Airlines. We used to take off 10 minutes behind an ATR in Manuwark [EWR] and still wind up ahead of it going into Dulles. AND....The ATR pilots were always asking for different altitudes due to icing in the northeast; Our Dash-8 just chugged right through icing without any problem. It was built in Canada; Hello hoser? -When the Dash-8's I flew were produced the company was owned partially by Boeing. The ATR might as well be labelled "Airbus", since that company owns most of the Franco-Italian airframer. We had a nasty nickname for the ATR: We called it the "Advanced Terrain Reamer" after the Indiana accident. That airplane had strange de-ice boots that were vertical instead of horizontal along the wing leading edge. And it was utterly underpowered compared to the Dash-8~
Be nice..worked the ramp at Dulles when Presidential airways got thier dash 8 back in 1989ishy . . Kiad to kswf.. packed with bags strapped to the landing gear.. at that time the ATR de-ice system just could not handle the weather events in the north east corridor.. the dash 8 .. would taxi in just covered in ice .. quick blast with the heat juice and off she went.
@@thomasburke7995 Absolutely correct Thomas Burke! I flew those things up to the northeast from summer '93 to fall '94, and other than one incident when we iced up over Virginia on a 90 degree day and the captain STALLED the airplane and I had to take the controls and break the stall, we used to beat the ATR's to Newark and JFK, and they would get over Maryland or Nuh Jair-Say and constantly be asking for other altitudes, while our Canadian plane just chugged right through it without even thinking about it....
@@marcg1686 Yes, the Advanced Terrain Reamer is indeed still in production and apparently still reaming terrain in an advanced fashion, as we saw from the Brazil incident. DeHavilland is moving the production plant for the Dash-8 to Alberta and will resume production soon. Bombardier sold the plant in 2019. The Canadian government wants to close Downsview airport.
If it has a purple tail.. no. That company is so fuel conscious anything to save a gram of fuel will be deleted. Its almost disgusting how far they take it...
@@abhishekojhaiya7452 The good production of the aircraft has nothing to do with the icing problem which is a design problem and the design needs to be changed so that it will cope with ice like the DHC8-400 does. Guys it’s really dangerous as can be seen by its previous failures in ice and large loss of ice. Design change needed on wing and until this is done it will continue to be dangerous in ice. I’ll bet the last crash was caused by ice. Stop the marketing response
I have flown the ATR72-500 and it is very small airplane. I knock several times on the head and I am small size of the height of 5 feet 8 inches. I don't know how 6 footers and above fit in. I wish it is slightly fatter, wider cabin . Overall it is ok.
Hello. ATR42 is a really good aircraft. But i dont think the same with ATR72. Flat landing attitude is a real problem on runways with vertical windshear. EASY TAIL STRIKE
The problem you describe is the result of geometry. Any other aircraft that is stretched later in its production run will suffer the problem. The C-130 Hercules is a prime example.
Pretty much the same for every aircraft with mechanical controls. Cessna, ATR, 737 or even 747. If you remove the panels, the cables and pulleys are right there. Remember it being the plot of some (not very good ) book, that they had to fly the aircraft from the cabin ceiling;-)
Clearly the 600 has benefited from some Airbus magic being sprinkled on it and feels a significant improvement over the 500. However from an aesthetic point of view, the flap mechanism and the composite covers look horrendous.
Dont have alot of these airframes in the states.. when they were first introduced it became quite apparent they were not designed for the massive weather events that occur on the east coast. The airframe is well designed for the European union and other more predictable weather climates. Paired with the absolutely bullet proof PW engine and HS prop it's a money maker ..the ATR got somewhat of a bad rap on this side of the pond and they never really recovered.. was the Dash-8 a better airframe .. no..THE DASH 8 it just excelled at handling what ever you threw at.. as for the PURPLE cargo tails.. be ready .. that company hires people that can break anvils. ..just ask AIRBUS.
It’s not the building of it,it’s the-design, the wing cross section which allows ice to form over the controls and the pilots are unable to maintain control. Look into the accident report by the USA NTSB. On accident over Chicago.I’m a retired aeronautical certification engineer and I would not fly on this aircraft. They sold many aircraft but I think that’s due to good marketing like you are getting right now.
The presenter did a fabulous job in showing the final assembly line and the factory. Bravo.
Having flown this beauty for 22 years, I have followed the development of this aircraft from the 42-300, via the -500 variants, to the -600. It has been a wonderful journey, and I'm pleased to see that ATR doesn't rest on its laurels. The future is bright!
I really like your videos! I hope I will use them well in my next year's transition from SF34 to AT72.
You've flown it for 22 years and you are still alive? I'm impressed.....
@@Flies2FLL Are you 12 years old?
Something tells me you are still eating crayons if you feel the need to ask me that~
@@Flies2FLL Your parents should have stopped smoking while you were in the womb.
Congrats to the presenter, a very interresting tour about a very interresting aircraft

Enjoyed the walk thru the factory. Good work👍🏾
An excellent video - just the right amount of information, well-presented and interesting.
I think the ATR is going to find big success in the freighter world.
I had not heard of ATR, but I am very pleased to learn of these beautiful aeroplanes. They are very impressive.
Clearly the ATR’s beauty is in its simplicity.
Excellent Video, the presentation was fabulous

As I was involved with ATR sales in South Asia,had a chance to visit Toulouse ATR facilities.
Wonderful.
Really excellent job presenting.

Supreb video- I flew an ATR72 back from Jersey to Southampton last week. Great aircraft!
Thanks for a very professional and succinct tour of ATR that is easy to understand.
I love ATR series and I am looking forward to the new ATR EVO
Fantastic presenter, thank you!
Who is here after Brazil ATR-72 crash in Aug - 24 ?
Triste demais😢
@@darlington2870 you are wrong ..LOL 🤣
@@kafka27 Why Brazil dont buy their own embraer? They can buil 90 seater turboprop.

Just Beautiful
Thank you for great video
Really nice

Sir where is ATR factory? Have any chance for me to serve ATR? I'M A fitter,,Indian
I can't imagine how many stops they will make to send this ATR to Japan......
Mail hatch? We used to call it the whiskey hatch! Square like a bottle of jack!
The only good thing about these aircraft are the low fuel burn and interiors. Otherwise I would rather fly a Dash 8.

Toulouse must be a favorable area to built aircraft since Airbus is also located there.
ATR is an Airbus bred aircraft between France and Italy.
ATR May be good . But I am soo scared to fly on a propellor one 😮
A propeller plane in general or the ATR lineup?
wanted to buy : 4 x PW127M
How does operation in hotel mode count towards engine hours?
It will not be counted. The power is very low for h-mode.
Seems like a catch up game with Bombardier.
Yes however the Q400 does not compare to other turboprop as it was developed to rival regional jets.

Just don't take it into known icing, if you do, you better retreat quickly!!!
Ridiculous, that was solved in the 90s.
