November 4, 200421 yr Actually being truthful - I haven't purchased it yet as it doesn't fit into the cockpit that I'm building.Unfortunately I don't think I will see a payware BAE-146 that will be usable for a home built cockpit.

November 5, 200421 yr Hi FredrikI think you will find that the only ATR's which have been modified are those in the US with the French backing up the manufacturer even though the large droplet tests clearly pointed to the ATR having a major problem with ice ridge build up.You will find also as i said that the ridge build up is associated wih the wing which ATR and Embraer use on the aircraft.From much reading it is pretty clear that a bit of a cover up was going on by ATR and the aircraft and its icing problems.Considering an ATR42 had a similar incident and recovered but the crew in Italy and Roslawn did not.To quote the NTSB"The NTSB said the probable cause of the control loss resulted from the failure of Avions de Transport Regional (ATR), the plane manufacturer, to completely disclose adequate information about previously known effects of freezing precipitation on the plane's stability and control characteristics, autopilot and operational procedures. This vital safety information, the Safety Board said, was not included in the ATR flight manual, flightcrew operating manual and flightcrew training programs. The NTSB also pointed to inadequate oversight of ATR-42 and ATR-72 aircraft by the French aviation regulatory agency, the Directorate General for Civil Aviation, and its failure to take necessary corrective action to ensure continued airworthiness of the aircraft in icing conditions."Pretty damning i'd say.Why do i not like the ATR.Well maybe that plenty of people have died flying in the thing and no-one including the manufacturer have done anything about most of the worlds ATR's which fly in Europe and have not been modified to safely fly in icing conditions.SeeyaDarren
