How to start the engine on ATR-72
The ATR 72 is a twin-engine turboprop, short-haul regional airliner developed and produced in France and Italy by aircraft manufacturer ATR (French: Avions de transport régional or Italian: Aerei da Trasporto Regionale), a joint venture formed by French aerospace company Aérospatiale (now part of Airbus) and Italian aviation conglomerate Aeritalia (now Leonardo S.p.A.). The number "72" in its name is derived from the aircraft's typical standard seating capacity of 72 passengers.
It has one special feature it can work in hotel mode and for that, you need a propeller brake. In this video, you can see how to switch it on and If you want to know more about this feature take a look at my YouTube channel @Zeto.r where I already uploaded a video about this topic. The link is in bio.
This aircraft is a bit special for me because it was the first type on which I have been certified and hopefully I will get a chance to work on it again. hotel mode is just one of the interesting features. let me know if you want to know more about this amazing aircraft.
