What does anybody that has flown the ATR think of it?

[ohplease!]

Do you know what the 320 mile range on the ATR's radar is?

If you thought the ATR was underpowered and slow, with the same engines as the 42 the DHC-8 can't even get close to the barber pole (242 KIAS) in level cruise, 90% TQ at 2000'.

I enjoyed the ATR, the 212A was great, that sucker hummed in flight, didn't even need to touch the condition levers to adjust Np.

By far the most fun airplace that I have ever flown. Much better than the CRJ, bigger cockpit, more comfortable seats (both front and back), better autopilot. When ATC tells you "short approach" you can lose 10,000 in about 6 miles if you know how. Landing takes sime time to get used to, but except in strong crosswinds it's really not difficult to land. Only thing I didn't like about it was the tiller...you couldn't take you hand off of it or it would take off to one side or the other.

What are the 3 most worthless things on an ATR?
1) The Captain
2) The wipers
3) The landing lights

I have flown both the ATR-42/72 and the Dash-8 100/200/300. They are both great airplanes. I miss the carrying capability of the ATR and the large amount of fuel.

The landings in the ATR are way easier than the dash. Trailing link gear is where it is at!
