During takeoff, the ATR72500 powers up its engines, and as it accelerates down the runway, the pilots carefully monitor the aircraft systems and instruments. Inside the cockpit, the pilots have a clear view of the runway ahead through the large front windshield. They communicate with air traffic control and make necessary adjustments to the aircraft's controls to ensure a smooth takeoff.
As the aircraft gains speed, the pilots gently pull back on the control column to lift the nose off the ground, initiating the climb. From the cockpit, they can see the ground falling away as the ATR72500 ascends into the sky. They continue to monitor the engine performance and flight instruments to ensure a stable climb.
During landing, the pilots line up the aircraft with the runway, using visual cues and instruments in the cockpit to maintain the correct approach path. As the ATR72500 descends towards the runway, the pilots adjust the throttle and control surfaces to control the rate of descent and airspeed.
In the final moments before touchdown, the pilots flare the aircraft, raising the nose slightly to reduce the descent rate and glide smoothly onto the runway. From the cockpit, they have a clear view of the runway ahead as the main landing gear makes contact with the ground.
Throughout both takeoff and landing, the cockpit of the ATR72500 provides the pilots with essential information and visibility to safely operate the aircraft in various flight phases.
