How to Track ATR 72 Aircraft
Open the flight map to inspect ATR 72 aircraft identified in the latest available public ADS-B snapshot. Select an aircraft to see the fields present in that observation, which can include position, altitude, speed, callsign and route metadata. Coverage is incomplete and individual fields can be unavailable.
Specifications and live identification
ATR 72 is a ATR turboprop whose first flight is recorded as 1988. Capacity, range and performance vary by sub-variant, cabin layout, payload and operator, so the figures on this page are broad reference values rather than specifications for a particular tail number.
The live map can identify a ATR 72 only when public ADS-B telemetry and aircraft metadata are available. It will not show every active airframe, and a missing aircraft is not evidence that it is grounded. Use official operator and manufacturer records for authoritative fleet information.
Aviation data sources
Live positions are aggregated from OpenSky Network and community ADS-B providers. Coverage, update intervals and route metadata vary by aircraft and region.
