Enhanced Performance 

PW127M: ADDITIONAL INCOME IN ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

ATR -600 series offer increased capacity, making the aircraft more attractive, even in the case of operational reach. 

ATR offers a more powerful engine: PW127M, which gives strength thermodynamics 5% higher in the Take-Off and Continuous Max. 

Thanks to a new level, the performance will be improved in the following ways: 

• Take-off weight of 500 kg and 600 kg (1100 pounds to 1320 pounds) when there are limitations 
• Clean Ceiling Single-machine increased by approximately 1,000 ft 

MULTI-RATED ENGINE POWER

• A unique engine hardware PW 127 for three power settings: PW127E, PW127F, PW127M.
• Level machine selected through the fuselage identification system (MEE multi-configuration) Two power levels are available for the ATR 72, allowing the PW127F for standard operations or the operations PW127M for 'hot & high', through the concept of "Operation Flex '. 
• The benefits of this concept for an airline to come essentially from the ATR fleet mix optimization. Fleet management endurance machine (Life Limited Parts impact) will be facilitated and controlled and optimized maintenance costs. 
• These machines are made available in early 2008 and is planned to be retrofitable on ATR -500 Series. 

Short track TAKE-OFF PERFORMANCE (RTO 100%)
