Captain Magnar your videos are fantastic! I am new to the ATR and I have some experience(12000+hours) with the Dash 8 100 and 300 series. I am known for very quiet approaches because I increase the condition levers to max as close to approach speed as possible. At about 90 kts the CL can be advanced from Min to Max with no increase in NP with power lever close to idle. At speeds above 120 kts with PL at close to flight idle, when the CL is advanced to max the NP increases to about 1200(100%) because the slipstream is driving the prop. As speed decreases the prop rpm(NP) decreases so that at 100 kts the rpm is about 1000 rpm. In other words at idle the engine is not producing enough power to spin the prop above idle, so the airspeed(airflow) is providing the energy required to overspeed the prop. I have never tried to replicate this in the Simulator but I noticed this same phenomenon on all aircraft I have flown, including piston aircraft, that is, that at idle the prop rpm increases with airspeed. With this in mind, do you think that instead of diving, reducing airspeed to below 120 kts may decrease NP below overspeed? Imagine this happening over high terrain at min safe altitude!! trading speed for altitude would be the safest thing to do.
@bbgun0615 ай бұрын
The reason he recommended diving was to maintain airspeed and directional control. Obviously if you are too low, you can't do that. But climbing or slowing down is a bad idea because the rudder will lose effectiveness. An extremely high Np is only going to happen at a high power setting. The first thing to do is reduce power to idle. As you say, that should bring it under control. Note that low pitch in flight is a very unlikely scenario, as it would require both PEC channels and the mechanical overspeed governor to fail.

@@bbgun061 if I may pls have a look at 20:13 on the video. Notice the ITT is low on the "low pitch" scenario. the ITT is telling us how hard the engine is working, and at this moment it is not working hard. to spin a prop to overspeed rpm requires energy. ask yourself where is this energy coming from? energy to spin a prop comes from either the engine, or the air flowing through the prop. so which one is it? I have 12000+ hours on the DHC8 plus a few on the DHC6, EMB110, and BE99. I am known for very quiet approaches because I always slow the aircraft down(as per DHC8 FM) before advancing the props to max rpm. In fact at 100 to 105 knots on the DHC8 the prop levers can be advanced from min to max in an instant with no discernable increase in noise. why? because not enough energy in the airflow through the prop, to increase its rpm! I am not trying to discredit anyone but allowing others to see things a bit differently. please do not take offense.

It's a little secret from ATR's marketing department. When ATR was presenting the new ATR 42-500 to their customers, they promised it would cruise at 300 kt. However, test flights revealed that the cruise speed was a few knots short of the target. The solution was to increase the cruise power. But that's a little secret, okay?

Nacelle overheat during may happen during hotel mode operation in tailwind. This requires you to shut down the engine. When there's nacelle overheat after engine shutdown, there's nothing to do. The engine is already shut down. The best prevention is not to park the aircraft in tailwind exceeding 10 kt. If that is not possible, don't use hotel mode.

Dear Magnar, I fly ATR since 1997 and I want to congratulate and thanks for your nice videos and informations! Regarding this video , I see you wait for 20 seconds after C/L from AUTO to FTR before engaging PROP BRAKE.Is there any reason why? or is just a "limitation" related to the 20 sec from FTR to FUEL S.O.? (in this case should be possible to engage prop brake as soon eng parameters stabilized at FTR and after 20 sec shut down engine). Thanks for clarification and my best rgds. from Italy.
@FlywithMagnar2 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for your feedback! The reason why we wait to engage the propeller brake is two-fold. First of all, NP should drop below 15%. Secondly, it takes 20 seconds for the oil used to feather the propeller to return to the oil tank. The scavenge pumps are driven by the propeller gearbox. Therefore, it's important to observe the 20 second limit after the last flight of the day. Otherwise, the mechanic might add oil even when it's not required.

Hello Capt, what cause for low pitch in flight? Also why do we wait for 2 low pitch/ low pitch indication to engage the reverse?
@FlywithMagnar3 жыл бұрын
Low pitch in flight is caused by a failure in the PVM (Propeller Valve Module). This causes the propeller pitch to decrease, allowing the propeller to turn too fast, which results in excessive drag from the propeller. Reverse produces a lot of drag. After landing, we need low pitch indication on each propeller before we select reverse because without low pitch, the propeller will not go into reverse, but produce forward thrust. If only one propeller has low pitch indication, and you select reverse, the resulting asymmetrical drag will cause loss of directional control.

Hello Captain, I just want to clarify something about ATPCS operation. The source is DSC.70.4.1.3 Arming Conditions. It says Uptrim and Autoftr is armed when: PWR MGT (TO), ATPCS pb ON, PL >49, TQ >46%, A/C on Ground And Autoftr is armed when: PWR MGT (TO), ATPCS pb ON, PL >49, TQ >46%, A/C in Flight. I have questions if in any case we experienced engine flameout at takeoff right after airborne. 1. Are we considered "In Flight"? 2. If Yes, are we going to have uptrim? since it says in the description only Autoftr is armed "in flight" and uptrim & autoftr is armed "on ground"
@FlywithMagnar3 жыл бұрын
That's a good question. The ATPCS is armed when the conditions you mentioned are met. When the ATPCS is armed, there's a green ARM light in the ATPCS pushbutton. When we set power for take-off, the ARM light comes ON. During normal operations, the ARM light remains ON until we move the power management selector to CLB. The ATPCS was armed on ground, and you have uptrim and autofeather. When we are on approach, we select the landing gear down and the power management selector to TO. If we then increase power (both TQ >46%), for example during a go-around, the ARM light will illuminate and remain ON until power is reduced or the power management selector is set out of TO. Here, the ATPCS is armed in flight, and you have only autofeather. The procedure for engine flame out "in flight" relates to a situation where the ATPCS is not armed.
@cruxader273 жыл бұрын
@@FlywithMagnar so meaning uptrim will no longer engage once our wheels lift off the ground. Let's say flameout happened 10ft off the ground right after liftoff, in that case uptrim should no longer activate as what FCOM says. However I've been to many recurrent sessions and was given flameout at takeoff usually after lift off around first 50-100ft off the ground. ARM light was on and uptrim engaged as well as autofeather. FCOM description is quite confusing
@FlywithMagnar3 жыл бұрын
No, that is not correct. When you take off, the ATPCS is armed on the ground and remains armed as long as the power management selector is in TO (take off) position. This is not changed until we reach acceleration altitude, which is minimum 400 feet above the runway. Then, we set climb power. Therefore, if an engine fails before we the set climb power, the ATPCS will provide uptrim and autofeather. It's not about where you are when the engine fails, but where you are when the ATPCS is armed.

@FlywithMagnar2 жыл бұрын
Technically, there's no reason. I assume ATR selected engine #2 first because it's the normal engine start sequence. However, you must use common sense. It's very rare that both engines will flame out at the same time. When an engine flames out, you follow the procedure and try to restart that engine if there's no suspected damage. If that didn't help, and the other engine fails, then you will try to restart that engine.
