Aer Lingus Regional EI3701 Full Flight - Birmingham to Cork (ATR72-500) with ATC

[@TheHDAviation]

Great view of the prop and nice turboprop sound, awesome in-flight video!

[@noelphilips]

***** Thanks :)

[@johnwilliams4007]

That's a distant Hereford from the air at 22:40. Western coast of Wales looks splendid there too, would love to do this one day! Thanks for sharing :D

This view is from the starboard side, of the starboard engine and prop. The starboard engine of the ATR has a prop brake. They release the brake and the prop starts spinning right away with the engine running in low idle. When the engine is spooled up to high idle, the prop blades become virtually invisible, and the "box fan" sound is added to the whine of the jet engine. Back in 1992, my longtime girlfriend and I flew on an ATR-42 with American Eagle. We noticed that it was somewhat less noisier than most turboprop airliners. My girlfriend gave it the nickname, "The Whisperprop". We believe that the ATR-42 and 72 have thicker cabin insulation, that muffles the bass hum and vibration, produced by the props. The props of the 42 that my girlfriend and I flew on had four bladed props. I notice that this ATR-72 500 has six bladed props. I'm convinced that the props are rotated at their maximum RPM on takeoff, probably 1,400 or 1,500 RPM. Shortly after takeoff, they're spooled down to about 1,100 or 1,200 RPM. During the cruise portion of the flight, I believe the props are rotated at 1,000 RPM. It's interesting how the 60 cycle flicker of the computer or TV screen produces optical illusions of the props spinning slower or backwards. After the 1994 crash in Illinois near Chicago Ohera, American Eagle began to shy away from the ATR's and nearly all US Regional airlines shyed away from turboprops altogether. They replaced them with regional jets, which I think is very sad. That 1994 ATR-72 accident along with a few others gave turboprops a bad rap. Many also don't like it that most turboprop airliners tend to be noisy with the bass hum and vibration, produced by the props. Also, many don't realize that the turboprop engine is a jet engine with a propeller attached. Many are convinced that it's a turbocharged piston engine, like that of a Porch. But if you listen to the engine as the propeller starts to rotate, you can hear the whine of the jet engine that spins the prop. Also, piston prop engines start up differently. When a piston prop engine starts up, the prop only turns slowly when the starter is turning it over. When it actually fires up, the prop rapidly goes into a spin, and a lot of smoke comes out of the exhaust stacks.

very nice engine sound while landing :D awesome video

[@Goair18]

Brilliant video, was hoping for a 33 take of as you would of flown across my house. 9 times outa 10 the flight noramly does, typical that when somebody records it the wind is on 33 instead.

[@noelphilips]

Hi thanks for commenting! On the return flight we landed on 15 and I sat on the left, so you may see it in that video, already uploaded :-)

brilliant video keep it up

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

I hate it when Atrs do pushback. I also hate it when pilots make the propellers spool into feather in less than a second. I like when they start up normally.

[@glenjarnold]

Ah the good old Helvetic parked next door. Loved working with those crews.

[@RYNT1157]

Great Video pity the weather was bad over Cork the view would have been good.

[@sibhyt08]

There's always bad weather in Cork lol

[@CoolDude-yg9eq]

Did you know that regional planes are noisier and more shaky than the jet ones.

[@thecorknicehero3073]

Yes and up to 30Db more louder than the jetliners in the cabin.

[@jamesahhardy7628]

I've never flown on an aeroplane before but I've watched a ton of your videos and I've always thought these Bombardier Q400 Dash 8s and ATR 72-600s accelerate really fast then climb really steep is that right?

[@masteroflightning8884]

Are you serious

[@circledsquare3833]

i feel little bit bad when i look outside of the window

[@avationgeek.1217]

Why

[@Altenholz]

My god, what is this monster complex at 11.00? According to google earth it measures roughly 1500 meters in length.

[@noelphilips]

+Altenholz It's the Land Rover factory in Solihull :)

[@zonibrave]

Altenholz so c

[@masteroflightning8884]

31:24 why did you zoom in

[@Kinsella_Finn]

Old school propellers freak me out

[@SOUTHENDAVIATION]

whys that?

[@alexandrupugna8430]

Firenz`e OBjaLecT2000HD .

[@04mittald]

plane moves very quickly when taxing

[@noelphilips]

+04mittald Yep these guys must have been in a hurry to get home :)

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

a good pilot doesnt stop on the runway after any landing unless the runway is too narrow to u turn on and he as to use reverse thrust

[@vololibero8330]

He has to backtrack along the rwy to the terminal. Listen for the ATC instructions

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

volo libero so then a good pilot makes the U- turn without stopping and wasting time right there in the middle of the runway.

[@KevinAndrew350]

***** Cork Airport is a very quiet airport, it's possible there were no aircraft arriving or departing for a long time after this aircraft landed and therefore no rush to vacate the runway. It appears the pilot was waiting for instructions from ATC before continuing further, I think a skilled ATR pilot based at Cork knew exactly what he was doing and doesn't need much more justification.

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

Kevin Andrew he shouldnt have stopped on the runway..especialy due to the fact he has to make a u-turn. you just dont do fhat

[@nadazat]

Shut the fuck up.

[@turbopiloto]

Why does the propeller start so quickly??????

[@noelphilips]

I just noticed this after you mentioned it and did a little research. The number 2 engine on an ATR has a prop brake, as it is used as a replacement for an APU (the ATR doesn't have one). The engine is already running before pushback (as it's needed as the APU), so the pilot just has to turn off the brake and the engine is already running at full speed. Same goes for why it stops instantly on arrival! Thanks for commenting!

[@turbopiloto]

Thank you for you answer! Just wondering if that doesnt make "suffer" the gearbox, well engineers should know what they do and design

[@turbopiloto]

Krusty kungfu sorry, have you heard about planetary gearbox? Nope? Well, turboprops engines have them, because turbines turns over 30,000 rpm and propellers at around 2,000 rpm, so the propeller cannot turn at the same rpm the turbine does, did you understand? Now you know that airplanes do have gearboxes!

[@colblimp]

Krusty you're clearly a brain dead moron if you think those engines don't have gearboxes 😂😂😂

[@Andwrightrocks]

Why at 3:20 does the propeller stop and change direction

[@noelphilips]

andrew wright It doesn't really, I think it's to do with the frame rate of the camera I was using.

[@thatnorwegianguy1986]

inflight Video Yeah the blades makes it seem like that it's an optical illusion

[@Andwrightrocks]

Ohh ok

[@04mittald]

+andrew wright wagon wheel affect

[@jackyclaiborne2142]

The 60 cycle flicker of the TV or computer screen produces optical illusions of the props stopping, spinning slower, or spinning backwards. The props of the ATR 72 spin to starboard, which is to the right. Left is port. I picked up on those nautical terms when I became obsessed with the Titanic.
