Excuse my ignorance, never flown a turboprop. On flame out is the ATR designed to autofeather automatically without crew input? What are the implications when it comes to restart? If they've gone into full feather you'd need a starter assisted restart?

I am trying to relate to the recent Dash 8 in Norway who had several flame outs on approach as ice shed into the air intakes. The engines were out for about 25-35 seconds each but the auto-ignition turned the fire back on. How would that have worked if they'd gone into feather upon loss of torque?
