This video series is the closest thing to a PoH/FCTM at the moment. I'm probably going to write up an FAQ later for some common issues.

Hi all and management,
After some two years of absence, absolved my first ICX flight with the ATR42-600. It is a plane getting used to. On approach, the handling is really docile. But managing the FMC is quite a handful, due (among others) to the absence of a POH. Switching from lnav to an ils is not automatic, and thats a thing getting used to in a busy flight phase. I am trying to make a check list, and will forward it to management to help others operating the plane. I have to do some more line training to get as proficient as I was on the venerable Q400. But overall, the ATR is quite enjoyable.

I haven't really logged any time in yet, and the system is quite different to the ATR 500 series I am familiar with so I can't offer much advice. Usually I'm completely clued up on all our aircraft but I'm behind the curve on this right now.

There is a nice official video guide (though I prefer written and illustrated) on the official MFS YouTube channel that may be useful, they do cover the FMS in some detail. Also ensure you have the latest version as the original release had some issues in the exact areas you refer to.

You are right Chris.
However, I still have some problems with the FMS on descent and approach. Well, practice makes perfect (so they say.....)
