ATR is in my opinion quite peculiar to handle - especially during takeoff/landing roll and flare... It took me a good 500 hrs to be able to make consistent landings in all conditions/weights.

Once you get the knack of it, you can fairly easily make some nice greasers. Unlike my current type, you actually fly the thing all the way to touchdown and can fine-tune/finesse the landing.

On the -320 you just cut the power and flare at approx 30 ft and the beast sort of lands itself, with better, or worse result

Good info on the C-130. That's one of the type I always wanted to fly and never had a chance...
