Hello everyone!

I wonder if someone could help me find information about flight profiles used on the Q400? I need the information for my thesis where the data will be used to evaluate flight profiles for a concept aircraft powered with open-rotor engines. My baseline aircraft to compare all simulations is the Airbus A320 which has a flight profile of approximately 250/300/0.78, not taking into consideration weather, weights, etc..

Since I dont have access to the AOM of the Q400, its difficult to know exactly how such aircraft operates. I would be very grateful for any kind of information regarding climb, cruise and descent operations!
Speeds (IAS or CAS) and altitudes (ft or m) of interest are:

-Take-off speed (approximate value)
-Climb speed
-Cross-over altitude
-Cruise speed
-Descent speed
-Approach speed
-Landing speed

Thanks!

Best regards,
