Isnt torque and power output directly proportional, higher the torque higher is the power output ?
As power is proportional to both torque and RPM, this hold true only if RPM (Np for turboprops) remains constant. As takeoff and climb use different prop RPM setting, you can not simply compare power by comparing torque.

Khurram, are you rated on ATR, in ATR groundschool or just curious?
