ATR 72 & 42 Tutorial 3: Final Cockpit Preparation and HOTEL MODE | Real Airline Pilot

[@grinningllama]

I (and others) have said it before and you're probably tired of reading it but: your videos are the most informative of any in flightsim youtube. Thanks for make these

[@A330Driver]

Thank you so much! It's always nice to hear when people are happy with what I do!

[@cubingwithcarl4572]

Totally agree!😊👍

[@pierrewanga9402]

Emi, you are a literal Gem to the flight sim community. Thank you for what you do. I (and I probably speak for all of us that watch your videos) thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@A330Driver]

Thank you so much Pierre!

The start in hotel mode is very, curious, is the first time that I see it and I think that it is a very smart solution.

[@boozerbrandy]

Just a warning to those who GSX you have to wait until you are connected and chose your pushback direction before going into hotel mode

[@ironmanballer4868]

Hotel mode is also a term used by the pc24 however that’s a jet so it’s a different system.

[@ilarikousa1500]

Hotel Mode was developed by Finnair, the launch customer. The current models have an APU as an option but it’s very rare as it has to be put in the cargo hold

[@A330Driver]

To my knowledge only very, very few aircraft were delivered with an APU. The rest relies on hotel mode.

[@ilarikousa1500]

@@A330Driver Yeah, precisely because you have to sacrifice cargo space

[@ilarikousa1500]

@@A330Driver That said, Finnair prefers to use GPU

[@paulwilson8367]

I understand that it's tough to model digital instruments and have a way to change settings when the knob or button is not in sight on the panel. I am sure struggling with clicking in the correct spots and memorizing the clicking areas. I guess I will get used to it. Ha, even on the OLD ATRs that I flew, we had the prop brake. I wasn't especially comfortable using it, though I did a few times. We would just go the old fashioned way and start one engine with the GPU plugged in. With the engine running, the GPU could be disconnected and ramp personnel out of the way to start the other one. This method was used on all the other turboprops I was around WAY back in the 80s and 90s.

[@kerimoflaz5718]

Thank you captain for these nice training videos.

[@CrashEd1664]

Excellent tutorial - looking forward to the next one! Many thanks!

[@kartal2339]

I like to hear you... Thanks all of information about aircraft

[@flightsimpilot123]

Great tutorial! Saab 340 also uses a prop brake.

[@holditorsken2030]

for some reason hotel mode only works if i only have my batteries on, nothing else. after setting up and everything, it never works for me. pump 2 is on, eng start to a & b, eng starter 2 is on and the nh% never exceeds 0.1%. but it works perfectly fine with nothing but the batteries on

[@emanuelgalatolo1954]

Great price, the product is good but the sounds of the reverse are to be reviewed and it is very difficult to keep the runway center landing and take-off. We must consider that we are not in a real plane and we can only count on the sense of sight

[@SavageGunFighter21]

Did my first flight today and it went pretty well. There is a bug with loading airways. It loads all the way points like 5 times. Also can't get the condition levers to go to cutoff.

[@TZA1980]

Amazing video! In the last checklist, what does CDLS mean? It should be on. Where is it?

[@chris22capt]

Cockpit Door Locking System, located on Cicruit Breaker panel behind F/O seat.

[@04bucmic]

HOTEL motel seems not be working with latest ATR72, NH stays at 17.9 %

[@04bucmic]

Solution is: HYD AUX PUMP must be pressed before starting the engine.

[@vfits]

I follow the procedures as stated in this video (and a couple of others here on youtube), but my enginees just won't start up. Oil levels remain red and low. Interesting enough on the SYS screen they both always state 17,9% (NH%), never 0%. But TQ% is always at 0% and they will never start.

[@04bucmic]

Same with me

[@isaacneuman3170]

Hello and thank you for your videos - very much appreciated. Two questions if you please: 1. What is CDRS ? it is the first line of the before prop rotation checklist 2. For some reason I can not insert landing data with the MAN button pressed - no numbers at all. Any idea ? Thank you.

[@A330Driver]

Hi, 1) A security system. My apologies for not going into further detail. 2) Never seen this. I sometimes had issues after a turnaround, but nothing general. Make sure to point it out to asobo, if you've got a bug there I'm sure they can fix it.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I think you mean CDLS? Cockpit Door Locking System.. just the door lock. Back panel behind the FO. I don't think you can actually switch it in the sim though.

[@joelangley7974]

I have tried following this step by step (it’s a great, easy to follow tutorial by the way so thanks for that) but when I click the external power button, I lose all power to the ACFT, all the generators buttons are switched on

[@flyt0Live]

Me too lol

[@richardmyers73]

@@flyt0Live I had the same issue. By selected ENG 1 Pump to ""run" I could turn the External Power off without a problem.

[@adrianubiaga5695]

Hi! Thank you for your excellent videos. I have a question, when I set the trim to the required value (I do it with numpad num1 and num7, up and down respec) the value on the screen falls again to 0,0 by itself (Hyd on). I manage to put it in the required value using the trim manually, but then it doesn't hold it, it falls again to 0,0 according to the screen) Am I missing something? When pressing the take off config button obviously a warning acoustic alarm come out because of that! Thank you in advance! Congrats for your tutorial again, exceptional work!

[@SpidaMez]

amazing video, interesting to see how fast you can pick up new planes lol

[@A330Driver]

Thanks! It takes a bit of doing the procedures again and again, but at some point you kinda get accustomed to learning new planes.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I don't know what I'm missing. I've gone through the videos like 3 times, but every time I get to the end here my AC Gens are fault and Hyd is low.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

Found my mistake. I was starting up the engines but not advancing CL 1&2 to Auto, which means the engines weren't spinning up enough to power the gens/hyd

[@michelebassetti9148]

Hello! What is the CDLS on the pre prop rotation checklist? Thankyou

[@A330Driver]

Hi, it's a security system about which I won't go into more detail. Sorry.

[@FSPasionporvolar]

In hotel mode the GSX detects that the engine is on and won't let me pushback, how to do in this case?

[@A330Driver]

Scream at GSX for not being flexible.

[@ricardosands6155]

Is it possible to have the checklist u r using linked? Please

[@KBNOtaku]

How come your Speedbug indicator is magenta? for me it always is blue?

[@A330Driver]

It's managed.

[@Jannik_Stein]

Roundabout intro plays

[@A330Driver]

hahaha

[@EpicJake07]

Vielen Dank für diese Informationen, sie sind sehr hilfreich. Interessant, dass die ATR keine APU hat.

[@pilot_paul42]

How do I change the pitch trim for take off, as there is not a wheel or am I missing something ?

[@A330Driver]

Use the trim button on the control column.

[@HELERsx]

Great video, thanks a lot! The ATR is slighty worse then I expected but for that price still a gem! May I ask you where you are from? (Country). Have fun im your new office over the clouds 😉

[@A330Driver]

Couldn't agree any more! I'm from Germany.

[@HELERsx]

@@A330Driver Hab ich den deutschen Akzent doch richtig rausgehört 🤣 Aber aus Respekt vor deinen englischsprachigen Zuschauern: Can we expect more great videos about the ATR? I have many questions. For example how the speed-bug works because it just ignores my inputs and the plane hasnt Autothrottle as far as I know🤣

[@grillodon]

Starting from EXTERNAL POWER mode on the tablet, there's no way to turn on HOTEL MODE, neither with EXTERNAL POWER OFF and only BATTERY ON. I tried following your video step by step.

[@A330Driver]

Should work with external power ON. I never had problems with it.

[@grillodon]

@@A330Driver Thank you. I think there are abnormal behaviors in the areoplane states. On another occasion I reloaded a ground flight while at the end of the taxi way: the airplane was born off, after selecting READY FOR TAXI mode the throttle moved late and the airplane soared. Perhaps it is best to start cold and dark and do all the procedures, pending a bug fix, which (at least I think) may not happen.

[@Iffy350]

This aircraft addon is somehow worse than all of the default aircraft. It flies like a porpoise and handles like running on a thick sheet of ice.

[@HeinsChristian]

I need enlightenment... What do you say at the beginning of each video? "I am Emmanuel" or "I am a model"? Which would be quite stressful next to your job as a pilot. ;)

[@A330Driver]

LOL

[@TheGw166579]

Great video as always, nagging question is why it’s called this..?

[@wO0O0000t]

The comment about the french translation is stupid and really not professional for a so called professional ! I don't even talk about the "I have good french friends"... It's the exact same excuses as those who say "I'm not racist, I have black friends" !
