EASA grants ETOPS approval for ATR -600 series


Jun. 7, 2013 Alan Dron

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has granted ATR ETOPS 120-minute
certification for its new -600 series aircraft.

This is the second boost for the Franco-Italian turboprop manufacturer this
week, which also received EASA approval to operate the aircraft in take-off
and landing temperatures down to -45°C.

The latest certification gives the ATR 42-600 and ATR 72-600 official
sanction to fly with one engine for up to 120 minutes from any airport at
which they can land. It means the new variants can provide direct links
between airports located up to four flight hours apart (two hours maximum
flight time from the departure airport plus two hours maximum flight time to
the closest airport where they can land safely).

According to ATR, the -42 and -72 are the only regional turboprop aircraft to
hold this 120-minute certification, which is particularly important for
airlines in remote areas such as French Polynesia or Siberia, where the
distances between suitable airports can be up to 2,000 kilometers.

This certification enables carriers to establish more direct routes, with
reductions in journey time, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, the
manufacturer added.
