Thanks, helps a lot.
Considering that Q400 and ATR72 uses similar engine, the ground idle number should be applicable to both aircraft. As the ATR72 has about 3000hp (compared to Q400s 5000hp), I would assume the ATR to have only 60% of that idle fuel flow (probably a bit more as those things cannot be scaled linearly).
