When starting engine #2 in Hotel Mode, monitor the TGT closely to avoid a "hot start." Once the ground crew clears the aircraft, release the propeller brake to let the blades spin up to regular idle speeds. Start engine #1 normally. During taxi, the ATR requires minimal throttle; the residual thrust from the large propellers is often enough to move the aircraft forward. 3. Takeoff and the Power Management Management Knob

X-Plane 11 is the foundation upon which the ATR 72-600 simulation is built. Developed by Laminar Research, X-Plane has long been celebrated for its highly accurate flight model, which uses blade element theory to calculate airflow over individual sections of the aircraft. This results in a simulation that is not only used by hobbyists but also by pilots for training and by organizations for FAA certification.

Currently, X-Plane 11 users have a few paths to flying this regional workhorse. While some projects have shifted focus toward X-Plane 12, many remain compatible or accessible for XP11:

, a final release for the platform was never fully confirmed. Virtualcol

The flight deck features five wide LCD screens. The Primary Flight Display (PFD) handles standard attitude, altitude, and airspeed tracking. The Central MFD handles navigation maps, engine monitoring, and system checklists. The Flight Management System (FMS)

These engines provide enhanced power, with a "boost function" providing a increase in takeoff power when needed.

Monitor structural icing indicators. The ATR is highly sensitive to ice accumulation. Activate airframe de-icing boots if entering visible moisture at low temperatures. 4. Approach and Landing Configure the FMS for the destination ILS or RNAV approach.
