- Overview: The ATR 72-600 is a regional twin-turboprop designed for short-haul routes. In X-Plane 11 it feels very different from jets—slower speeds, strong low‑speed handling, and turboprop-specific engine response.
- Flight model: Expect realistic low-speed behavior and strong propwash effects. Approach speeds are lower (around 100–110 KIAS depending on weight). The aircraft can be pitch-sensitive during power changes—smooth throttle work is essential.
- Systems: The package I used includes basic FMC/nav, realistic prop and beta range behavior, and functioning electrical/hydraulic systems. Autopilot holds headings and VNAV/altitudes but can require manual trimming on climb and descent.
