ATR Final Assembly Line - Guided Tour

[@FlywithMagnar]

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!

[@milanzavada5121]

I really like your videos! I hope I will use them well in my next year's transition from SF34 to AT72.

Congrats to the presenter, a very interresting tour about a very interresting aircraft

[@markbrown4442]

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.

[@hrg3483]

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.

[@nenblom]

The ATR 72-600 Is my absolute favorite commuter plane! I have flown on that plane as a passenger many times. It is a rock!

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.

[@robertlafnear9115]

That was a great tour of this production line..... what a nice plane. THANK YOU ATR

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

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!

[@Kingdunk78]

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!

[@marcosguimaraes8792]

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

[@hrg3483]

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!

[@psrpippy]

Really excellent job presenting.

[@Del_Monico]

that man who gave the tour was very pleasant. Nice job sir!

[@vorlonb3]

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.

[@MaverickEchoJuliet]

A nice aircraft to fly in. Enjoyed the walk thru the factory. Good work👍🏾

[@Flies2FLL]

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~

[@midlifeparty]

You expressed this better than I would.

[@thomasburke7995]

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.

[@Flies2FLL]

@@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]

And yet, 35 years after entry into service, the ATR 72 is still being manufactured.

[@Flies2FLL]

@@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.

[@charlesmclean9089]

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.

[@EIVLN]

Excellent and informative video, Merci.

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.

Great vlog! Thank you. Does the ATR-72 600F come with a WC? I know on the converted ones it has been removed.

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...

ATR 72 is the major transporter here in Nepal. 🇳🇵🇳🇵

[@keithwalker6892]

@@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

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

[@marcg1686]

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.

[@juanmanuelgomezmartinez3795]

@@marcg1686 the issue is when you put together geometry and vertical windshear sensitivity.

Toulouse must be a favorable area to built aircraft since Airbus is also located there.

[@midlifeparty]

ATR is an Airbus bred aircraft between France and Italy.

[@JustProps]

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.
