Atr
Jammedstab and everyone else thanks for the very detailed and comprehensive reply! Now it all makes sense.
I was reading on the web that when you takeoff with the atr72 you select on the FCP panel HDG and V2+5, if you fly an SID can you arm the NAV mode and then the fd will swicth to NAV at a preset altitude - something like 400ft agl , or you have to manually select it? And the V2+5 IAS command is it armed or it is actually activated? If so does it provides with your pitch setting during normal ops or do you rotate through the command bars to let s say 15 degrees and then you sink the fd, while if you loose an engine you just rotate in the commanded pitch setting? Then at the acceleration altitude you increase you speed to i guess 160 or 180 if you are in icing conditions and as you pass through the bugged vfto you raise the flaps and adjust the pitch to maintain your target airspeed.
Finally, the power management, do you takeoff with the power levers in auto and then you simply select TO on the PWR MNG or do you phisically advance tch the PLs to match the torque computed by the system? Any derated takeoff? What about the prop? Which settings do you use?
Many thanks and sorry if i am abusing your patience but i do love the ATR and i want to learn as much as i can about it!!
