Atr 72-600 X Plane 11 <360p 2026>

While there is no native ATR 72-600 in the base version of X-Plane 11, the primary option for this aircraft is a highly anticipated project by SkyCatsLab

✈️ Flying the ATR 72-600 – Step by Step (Brief)

  1. Startup – Battery ON → APU START → APU GEN → Engine start (condition lever to FEATHER, then to AUTO once stabilized).
  2. Taxi – Use beta range (throttle below idle) to control speed. No tiller – use rudder/nosewheel steering.
  3. Takeoff – Power levers to TOGA; rotate at 110–120 kts; positive rate → gear up.
  4. Climb – 160–180 kts initial; power levers in CLB detent.
  5. Cruise – 250–270 kts at FL200–250. The ATR is efficient but slow compared to jets.
  6. Descent – Use beta range to help slow down; speedbrakes are limited.
  7. Landing – Approach at 120–130 kts; flare gently; after touchdown, power levers to GROUND IDLE, then reverse by pulling into BETA.
  8. Shutdown – Condition levers to FUEL SOFF → APU/EXT power → battery OFF.

3. Systems Modeling and Depth

The complexity of the ATR 72-600 lies not in its airframe, which is aerodynamically efficient and stable, but in its systems. atr 72-600 x plane 11

The ATR 72-600 in X-Plane 11 is widely considered one of the best turboprop simulations available on the platform. However, because there are two main versions of this aircraft available—the default version included with X-Plane 11 and the "commercial" add-on version by FlightFactor—reviews can vary significantly.
