I've gotta get the Flight 1 ATR figured out - Plane Nuts - 28-11-2005
I am currently flying a delivery flight of a new ATR from Toulouse to St. Maarten and have made two flights so far, the first from Toulouse to
Glasgow, and then on to Reykjavik. On both flights, I've had issues with the aircraft suddenly going 'Overspeed'. I follow the aircraft
checklist to the letter, I set the CL's at Auto, and the PL's at the notch, climb with the Power Management knob at CLB and then after the
aircraft accelerates to cruise speed after leveling off, I switch to CRZ.
Everything goes great, and I get TAS numbers very close to the published numbers. Then, I assume it's shifts in winds that cause my IAS
to rapidly increase by 50 knots or more and I'm well overspeed.
I have the most current registered version of FSUIPC, and I have the wind changes set a very small change per second (I can't remember
what the setting is exactly because I'm at work right now).
Ever since I bought FSUIPC about a year ago, I have had NO Problems with overspeed in any aircraft. And now that I'm flying the Flight 1
ATR, I'm getting it almost every flight!
Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.

What's your flight level? If you fly below FL120, you'll overspeed if you keep power levels in the notch.

From Toulouse to Glasgow I was at FL230.
I decided to fly a little lower to Reykjavik, but I was still at FL160.

you do have to watch that lady, she's a sweetie to fly but don't max the throttles in cruise, you will OS if you do. best bet is around the 83%
mark.

Yeah, she is definitely a sweet bird! I love the realism, especially the start-up/shut down procedures, and how well it handles when flown
by hand.
I'll try to bring the throttle out of the notch and back it down a bit on my next flight, thanks for the tip.
