Fokker 50 torque settings?

hi,

Can anyone please help me with some tips and info about the torque settings on a Fokker 50?

I was wondering if a 'torque-pitch table' exists for a F50 (similar to a power-pitch table for piston engine aircraft), providing torque, pitch, airspeed and configuration information for different situations such as a precision/non-precision approach, a high speed approach, etc.?

I realize that torque setting depends on a number of factors like atmospheric conditions, altitude, amount of headwind on final ... , so what I am looking for would be some 'reference' settings to work with and/or some tips on how to estimate the torque setting for less standard conditions, especially on approach descents.

many thanks ;-)
