Thunderbirdsix, thats actually a normal approach attitude for the ATR. What I was referring to was the final 10-ish feet down to the runway. SLL,SLM AND SLN all have the 4 bladed prop mated tot the engine of the -500 which have 6 bladed props. When you reduce to flight idle in the flare the tendencey in the -212 is for a rapid nose drop. Most guys and girls I know land with a little bit of power counter-act this. I must say that I dont like flying these aircraft as the noise levels are very high in the flight deck.
