ATR ice & rain protection systems

Like all transport category airplanes, ATR aircraft are certified to fly in atmospheric icing conditions. The airplane is equipped with systems that can detect, prevent, and remove ice from critical areas of the airplane.

This video is revised and gives an introduction to the systems in all ATR variants and will be useful for preparation for a type rating course and refresher training. However, when you want to know every detail, you must study the FCOM – Flight Crew Operating Manual.

The systems in modern airplanes are integrated into each other. Therefore, you will get a better understanding if you watch the following videos first:
