The ATR 42-500 is one of a family of twin turboprop passenger aircraft developed and manufactured by Avions de Transport Regional (ATR).

  gonumbers.com » ATR Review
ATR has abandoned plans to produce stretch versions of the ATR 42 and ATR 72 (which would have been dubbed ATR 52 and ATR 82 respectively, as well as the ATR 42-cargo with a folding rear ramp/door) due to the rapid change over to regional jets at many commuter airlines.
ATR 42 pilots are warned about taking off an ATR 72 with too excessive a takeoff pitch angle, because the aircraft’s tail will hit the runway if it is rotated with as high an angle of attack as an ATR 42.
As the ATR turns toward the airport, the crew sets bug headings, turns the ignition to Continuos Relight, sets the flaps and condition levers, extends the landing gear (three green lights), and finishes the “Approach” and “Before Landing” checklists to ensure that the aircraft is properly configured for a safe arrival at the destination airport.
