ATR 42 Cockpit Flight with Canadian North!

That FO looks like a great person to spend time with!

[@nazimL1011]

Same feeling ….would love to fly with a guy like that.

I have flown with him and he’s extremely fun!

100%!!!

[@ryana9173]

He's one of my fav FO's to fly with! :D

[@IncorrigibleBigotry]

I really love these "alternative" locations -- a lot of Greenland and now this. Very cool! Thank you so much, it's always a treat.

[@bluefinn7032]

Agreed, flying in these remote locations is something else. Very fascinating

[@NNICKKK]

What a time to be alive. I know we have had KZbin for almost 20 years now, but the kid in me is still blown away at the content like this. Sadly my career never took me into aviation, but thank you Gabe (and to all the crews that support these vids) - its amazing you put these more obscure vlogs together. Its all endlessly fascinating to me. Long live FR 24!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you!

[@claycarter3535]

Love the smaller planes and rural routes. I was, however, disappointed that more scenery was not shown. This is an area few will ever see, so was hoping to see more of those mountains, bays, and overall stunning scenery.

What's the visible difference?

[@johnlester5352]

@@thecaynuck The older planes all had individual gauges and switches. Where the "Glass Cockpit" is more like computer screens showing the gauges but not stand alone gages. You can Google "Aircraft Glass Cockpit" and see examples.

Thanks. So enjoyed the expanse of the wilderness of north Canada. More please from this part of the unspoilt world.

[@AidanEyewitness]

Stunning to be able to experience this flight to a remote part of the world and sit with the pilots. The scenery is breathtaking. I recently flew on an ATR72, very exciting!

[@Altenholz]

In 1988, I was employed by a Danish company here in Kiel, Germany. The name of the company was “Cimber Air” with headquarters in Sonderborg southern Denmark. The registration of our aircraft was OY-CIA and OY-CIB. They were ATR 42-300s and had exactly the same cockpit/ equipment except the EFB ;-)!Avionic wise , it was the non plus ultra at that time :-)

[@NicolaW72]

C-FTIK (the Aircraft in the video) is a former Air-Dolomiti-Aircraft, delivered in December 2019, later then used by First Air and since November 2019 by Canadian North.

[@stephenwilliams1796]

Brings back fond memories of my brief visit in 1989, flying from Resolute, a week at Eureka weather station and onto Cape Columbia, where I spent two months in a tent (as radio operator) - in support of the 'Icewalk Expedition' - happy days. Shame I can't post a picture of the 'Dakota/DC3 type' plane (Bradley Air?) used for part of the journey. Stunning scenery though, almost enough to inspire one to take up flying as a career.

[@willroswell]

Awesome. Used to load these bad boys up in Iqaluit during Covid. It was the only way I was able to stay employed in aviation as a low time pilot at the time. Cool to see a day’s work from the flight deck!

They're using the ATR 42 in Northern Canada while Wideroe in Norway is using Dash8-100s in similar conditions. Makes perfect sense ;-)

[@hartmutweyer1875]

The Dash 8 is a more powerful plane and can out climb icing conditions

You should try and get a flight deck ride up to Longyearbyen in Svalbard. One of the highest places in latitude I have visited.

[@patrikkrispler5239]

18:30, 19:29 Those ATR's appear to be fitted with little winglets.... That's so cool, I 've never spotted them on any ATR, or any other turboprop... Are those an option to choose on the ATR or are they made by a 3rd party supplier? Great video as always!

[@bonnoteriiteporouarai7097]

All ATR 42 are equipee with those, ATR 72 kinda have those too but it’s smaller

First time I've heard Bylot Island pronounced as Billet Island. Conventionally, it's Byelot Island.

[@varig933]

Where’s the Captain from?

[@Ztbmrc1]

Nice scenery. Why is the FO pulling and shaking on the yoke during the landing roll out? And about the magnetic and true heading / course. Why do we still use magnetic heading / course anyway. Wouldn't be more logic to use true heading / course and only magnetic as a back. Since magnetic compasses in planes are only for backup these days...

[@Rookie_One]

Magnetic pole is a easy point of reference that doesn't move that much in relation to the rest of the world, the high artic have the misfortune to being close to it. And true heading means you often have to recalibrate your gyro compass since it will drift

[@Rookie_One]

For the shaking and pulling, I think it was after the captain engaged the gust lock, so I think he was testing the lock making sure it's engaged

[@Ztbmrc1]

@@Rookie_One Ok thanks

[@Ztbmrc1]

@@Rookie_One Well I thought the magnetic poles do move, think of magnetic variation....

[@Rookie_One]

@@Ztbmrc1 yes, but that variation impact is smaller the further away from the pole you are

Is Gabe one of the two founders of Flightradar24 ?

[@_Tommmmmm_]

I don't know if its just my audio, but the voice over on this sounds way too compressed/condensed.

[@matsfrisk3653]

👍

[@teddy_123.]

Nice

[@thecaynuck]

Why is the FO wearing a baseball cap while being an airline pilot?

[@thecaynuck]

I feel nervous every time I see an ATR flying in Northern conditions and not a Dash 8. The ATR has a slew of icing issues and fatal incidents because of it.

[@marcg1686]

The ATR doesn't have any 'icing issues' that other turbo props don't have. If the pilots stick to the procedures defined by the manufacturer, things work out fine.

[@mrkhan2983]

be safe on these ATRs !

[@NicolaW72]

👍

[@marcg1686]

Shouldn't be a problem. If the speed bug is set to the aircraft weight and the crew keep an eye on the APM, things should work out.

[@banjovic]

I would much rather fly with the FO than the captain!

[@thecaynuck]

Nothing wrong with the captain

[@Avgeek-i3q]

Hey fligth radar, can you make a new feature in flight radar 24? And the feature is can hear the atc and pilot sound plsss

[@hartmutweyer1875]

ATRs are fine planes if you don't have to fly over high ground in icing condition. When ever you can climb to an altitude below -20°C , it's likely that you can outclimb icing condition.

[@castlejustin]

I swear all FSS sound like the same guy

[@keithwalker6892]

Not a good plane for this climate. Best use the DHC8-400. He better fly low all the way

[@PiccadillyAvenue]

As usual, Gabriel omitted to tell us what time of year (month) the flight took place. The appearance of the Arctic changes dramatically with the seasons (and sometimes within a season). Pond Inlet lies nearer 73 N than 71 (72 deg 42 min to be exact). Gabriel could have mentioned that Iqaluit is the capital of Nunavut Territory and the strip at Pond Inlet is gravel.

[@Rookie_One]

If it can help, Pond Inlet is in the arctic circle, so to have that much daylight would probably point between mid- spring and mid-autumn

[@davidcole333]

Didn't one of these just pancake into the deck in Brazil? From icing? This is one flight I would have politely declined.

[@bonnoteriiteporouarai7097]

That’s the proof that ATR can manage icing conditions, they fly those in the artic. The thing is as long as the crew takes the right actions to counter icing the ATR is perfectly fine to fly even with icing conditions. There’s a lot of operators that fly the ATR in northern countries, Canada, Finland and even in Russia.

[@Rookie_One]

​@@bonnoteriiteporouarai7097just to add, pilots used to arctic and subartic climate tend to be much more aware of icing conditions and be careful around it.

[@mcass777]

Did he say the ATR was a Canadian build? It’s Italy and France who build it.

[@bonnoteriiteporouarai7097]

Well the engines are canadian 😂
