As part of this certification process, the EASA certified new ATR ‘-600’ equipment and systems – installed on their new avionics suite -, which had already been designed by ATR suppliers taking into consideration their future use in extremely low-temperature environments.
Since their launch at the end of 2007, new ‘-600’ series ATR aircraft have been positioned as the top selling regional aircraft with less than 90 seats worldwide. ATR has to date received more than 300 orders for this new family of aircraft.
