ATR (French: Avions de transport régional; Italian:
Aerei da Trasporto Regionale; or "Regional
Transport Airplanes" in English) is a Franco-Italian
aircraft manufacturer headquartered in Blagnac,
France, a suburb of Toulouse. Avions de Transport
Régional GIE.
ATR is the world number one regional aircraft
manufacturer with its ATR 42 and 72 aircraft the
best-selling aircraft in its market segment.
 ATR = Leonardo + Airbus
• Leonardo builds the entire, fully equipped fuselage
and the vertical and horizontal tails for all ATR
aircraft, with the tails made of composite material.
The fuselage is built and assembled at the
Pomigliano d’Arco plant near Naples, while the tails
are realized and assembled at the Foggia plant.

• With the efficiency of the turboprop engines and

the consortium’s never-ending technological
innovation, the ATRs consume up to 40% less fuel
and emit up to 40% less CO2 than regional jets.

 Competitive Advantages

First ATR42 developed in Oct-1981. ATR 42-500 is

one of the upgraded development since Oct-1995.
Dispatch reliability of more than 99.6 % . ATR 42-500
major gains on direct competitors are :

• Higher cruising speed

• Reduce costs associated with time
• Airport fees lower
• Lower maintenance costs fuselage
 Fuselage & Turbo Machine
Pratt and Whitney Canada PW127E machine is powering ATR 42-
500; which offers :

• A cruising speed of 300 kt

• A quick climb from 1,500 ft to 17,000 ft in less than 10 minutes
• Take - off and single exceptional engine performance
maintained even in hot and high conditions
• Excellent short- field performance and affordability step
approach

ATR 42-500 extensive secondary structure is made of corrosion-

resistant composite material .
ATR HighLine
 Most Fuel Efficient in Class
• ATR aircraft are versatile, flexible and can serve airports with
limited ground infrastructure, making them the right tool for
operating regional routes.
• ATR aircraft are the most responsible regional aircraft with the
lowest fuel burn.
• It can reach a cruise speed of 300 kt (556 km/h) true air speed,
with a fuel flow of 811 kg/h: a fuel economy of 1.46 kg/km or 3.8
L/100 km per seat with 48 seats and a jet fuel density of 0.8.
• Take off Distance MTOW = 1106m , Landing Distance MTLW =
966m
• Max Range with Max Pax/Load = 1345 km or 726 NM
• It has a 18,600 kg MTOW, for a 341 kg/m2 wing loading.
 Narrow Runway Issues
Takeoff:
1. “GO” following engine failure
2. “RTO” following engine failure
3. Maximum recommended crosswind
Landing:
1. Adverse weather (pilot decision-making)
2. Crosswind landing
3. Crosswind and engine failure / Asymmetric Reverse Thrust
4. Autoland considerations
5. Hydraulic Problem/ ACW Generator MEL
MMEL/Inflight Failures affecting directional control

Ground Maneuvering and increased risk of FOD to wing-mounted

engines
• 45 m is standard runway width
• Narrow Runways Less than 30 m width
• Runways even Narrower than 23m
