ATR 72-200

About the ATR 72-200

Easy maintenance. Operating costs are 45% less than regional jets. Over a distance of less than 500 km, the fuel consumption per passenger of the ATR is 15% less than that of a car, and 60% less than that of an equivalent-sized jet plane. Consequently, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, an ATR plane produces up to 60% Less than a jet plane.

Flexibility & Versatility

Requires remarkably short runways (less than 1,000 m/3,280 ft) providing the unique flexibility to serve airports with shorter runways. 6° Steep slope approach (ATR approved for operations in LCY). Unpaved runways certification (laterite, soil, gravel, grass). Narrow runways operations, down to 14 m/46 ft width. 4.5% runway max slope allowed. 120 min ETOPS. –45°C certification.

A State-of-the-Art Technology

Aircraft Data

The ATR 72 is derived from the ATR 42 with a 4.5 m stretched fuselage. The two aircraft feature a high degree of commonality: the same cross-section, and the same cockpit for cross-crew qualification. Offering a standard capacity of 66 seats, the ATR 72-200 is equipped with two PW124B engines, rated at 2,400 SHP each.

Key features of the ATR 72-200:

■ A Dual-class Cabin
■ In-flight Entertainment
■ Large Overhead Bins for Carry-on Roller Bags
■ The Widest Cabin in its Class and more Elbow Room
■ Forward Passengers' Door and Air Bridge Capability

ATR 72-200 Model Variants:

Military

The Italian Air Force has ordered four more sophisticated “ATR 72 ASW” machines. The ATR 72 ASWs are fitted with the “Airborne Tactical Observation & Sensor (ATOS)” system, built by Finmeccia SELEX Galileo, with the suite including Ferranti Seaspray radar, an electro-optic sensor turret, magnetic anomaly detector sensor. Military communications and datalink systems, as well as defensive countermeasures, were also fitted. They could carry two depth charges; four light torpedoes or two heavy torpedoes; or two Exocet antiship missiles. Initial deliveries were in 2012, with the machines operated by mixed air force and navy crews. Six more ATR 72 ASWs, along with two ATR 72 military utility machines, were ordered by the Turkish Navy, with initial deliveries in 2013.

Cargo

Cargo LCD (Large Cargo Door – (294cm x 180cm))

ATR 72-200 cargo with LCD Modules, immensely facilitates the loading of oversize goods or containers. Associated with a complete stripping of standard furnishings and the addition of specific cargo equipment (9g stop net, floor reinforcement, class E cabin, light or structural linings, window plugs), it provides operators with a flexible, multipurpose cargo platform for transportation of ULD (88”x62” / 88”x108”), pallets, bulk freight or both, the gross usable volume being up to 75.5m3 for the ATR 72 model.

Large Cargo Door is:

• Hydraulically actuated
• Equipped with viewports for locked latches verification
• An auxiliary crew door (24” x 48”) is incorporated
• Max door opening: 110°
• Door tip distance from ground: 4.041m (13.25 ft)
• Door sill height: 1.050m (3.44 ft)

Cargo BFC (Bulk Freighter Converted Cargo Doors – 129cm x 157cm))

The existing 1.295 x 1.575m (51” x 62”) cargo door provides adequate accessibility for bulk freight and dedicated container loading. Adapted fuselage lining combined with transverse nets installation (adjustable) adds flexibility to loading arrangements and optimizes volume utilization.
