Differences between ATR 42 & 72 | Revised

[@tdbarton7712]

My grandson and I saw an ATR arriving SAN today. We wanted to know more about the aircraft. Thank you for an excellent video. We love the plane as well.

I’m starting ATR 42 TR in a month, your videos have been immeasurably helpful as an introduction. Thank you Capt 👍 oh and just as a curiosity, I’m from the U.K, however my first flight instructor position was in Thailand a decade ago teaching foundation training for Bangkok Airways sponsored cadets. fantastic place, wonderful people.

Thank you. It is great to learn you had a wonderful time in Thailand. All the best with your ATR training.

Hey Magnar, how many pilots after you told them about the ATR 42/72 said, "My dream plane is now the ATR 42/72."? For me, it's more about the exotic destinations the ATR aircrafts fly to and it's versatility. I don't really like to fly into those big busy internationals...

[@FlywithMagnar]

Zero. Most people I interact with are already interested in the ATR. And, yes, I agree it's more fun to fly to small destinations. That's why I stick to the ATR.

Very nice video! I bumped into this video looking for differences between ATR 72-500 and 600 for scale modeling purpouses, since scale modelers look for making their model the more accurate to the real thing as possible regarding visible details, going down to things like the amount of hydraulics panels doors. I've concluded from this video that it ain't external visual differences from 500s to 600s, not even to engine nacelles as I thought there could be. Thank you for making and sharing it!

[@FlywithMagnar]

That is correct. The 500 and 600 are identical outside. The difference is inside.

@@FlywithMagnar thank you very much for answering!

The main difference is one has a generator and the other has a gen er ah TOR.

Thank you for another beautiful and insightful video 😊 So if I understand correctly, the ATR42 is faster in cruise (230 KIAS / 300 KTAS) but slower in climb (160 KIAS), while the ATR72 is faster in climb (170 KIAS) and slower in cruise (221 KIAS / 278 KTAS)?

[@FlywithMagnar]

Yes, exactly

[@sebasmen]

@@FlywithMagnar Thank you :)

[@calumlittle9828]

Show off 😂 teacher's pet 😂

[@emmanuelnah-4551]

Hey Magnar, can you make a new episode comparing ghe difference between q-400 and atr 72? It would very appreciate for your professional opinion 😊

[@FlywithMagnar]

They are made for two different missions. The ATR 72 is a money maker. The Dash-8 is a regional jet killer.

Thanks, you really showing facts that a bit difficult to understand in msfs 2020.

[@guilhermeguimaraes8755]

Great content! All the videos actually 😅 thx for the help. Just finishing TR

[@DerekRutherford-yh8kz]

On the atr 42, you showed the incorrect brake wear indicator.

[@EvandroJunior-u9g]

When the 42 in msfs increased power on cruise i was certain that was a bug. Thanks!
