Tailored to Regional Operation

T

emperature or altitude extremes from the Equator to the Arctic Circle are the daily environment for ATR aircraft. Operated today in all types of climates and conditions, ATR operational flexibi-

lity and versatility are recognized worldwide by regional operators. Low weights, together with an advanced aerodynamic design and state-of-the-art Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 Series engines, keep fuel burn to a minimum. Expanding further operational versatility is the objective of ATR, to provide airlines with tailored performance to suit regional operations and increase revenues. Providing exactly what the customer needs in a fast evolving market.



Engine rating selected through airframe identification system (EEC multi-configura tion)* Two levels of power will be available for the ATR 72, allowing PW127F ratings for standard operations or PW127M ratings for ‘hot & high’ operations, through the ‘Flex Operation’ concept.



The benefits of this concept for an airline come essentially from the optimisation of a mixed ATR fleet. The management of the engines fleet durability (Life Limited Parts impact) will be facilitated and maintenance costs controlled and optimised.

This engine is made available by early 2008 and it is designed to be retrofitable on ATR -500 Series.

Never-Ending Innovation

T

he aviation industry is at the forefront of advanced and innovative technology. Continuous evolution and improvement of pro-

ith the future in mind, airlines prefer to avoid

 the necessity to incur high cost of investing in upgrades and modifications in order to

meet evolving standards. Regional aircraft today must exceed current technical, safety and maintenance requirements. Flight safety and aircraft maintenance optimisation are  two of the major requirements coming from Operators and Airworthiness Authorities. In the wake of this evolution, ATR is now offering significant product upgrades and innovative solutions. Leadership is not only market share, but mainly technology at the service of low operating cost and high reliability.
