Short runways’ takeoff performance

ATR 600 Regional Aircraft Range Increase

PW127M : Additional revenues in severe environments

ATR -600 series is offered with increased payload, making the aircraft even more attractive, also in terms of operational range.

ATR is offering a more powerful engine: the PW127M, which delivers 5% higher thermodynamic power at Take-Off and Max Continuous ratings.

Thanks to the new ratings, performance will improve in terms of :

Take-off weight between 500 kg and 600 kg (1,100 lb to 1,320 lb) when limitations exist
Single-Engine Net ceiling increased by about 1,000 ft.

Multi-Rated Engine Power

A unique engine hardware PW 127 for three power settings: PW127E, PW127F, PW127M
Engine rating selected through airframe identification system (EEC multi-configuration)
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.

Short Runways Take-Off Performance (RTO 100%)

Thanks to full RTO takeoff procedure, ATR 72-600 can carry up to 70 passengers on a 300 Nm (550 km) sector distance (RW10, no wind, dry runway, 10°C).

ATR 72 aircraft have 6° steep slope approach capability, allowing operations into difficult access airports.
