About ATR 72 500. Very important to keep the correct speed. Torque depends on weight. It ranges between 16 to 21 psi. Better to land with some power, otherwise quite hard touch down. Very little flare, just to keep the nose wheel out of the ground. I land this way even on short runways, about 1400 m long. Careful during ground roll: very nervous.
Happy landings
