A.63 Regional Turboprop

I used a new mod for the seats in this build, I'm unsure if it is mobile friendly or not.
For this one, I went in with the idea of sub-parr and ugly, effectively an ugly duckling. She's underpowered, awkward LG, and her rear-end makes take-offs very cumbersome. She also has this nasty pull to the right that I'm embracing. HOWEVER---she can do something that none of my other airliners can do, something that all real-life airliners can do... she can glide without engine power. I gave much care into the cockpit details without using a thousand little switches and the like. For external design queues, I leaned heavily into the look of a Short-360 (because I think it's a pretty ugly bird). Cockpit design queues influenced by the Dash-8 Q-400 and the Boeing 737-600. She has some incredibly basic livery if you can even call it that, but it's very there and very blue.
There is no prop-feathering, and therefore no thrust reversing. The levers in the cockpit for feathering are subsequently useless but I linked em to FireGuns just for laughs.
Stall speed 135ktph, Ideal take-off speed is 175ktph.
Be sure to disengage the parking brake, close all doors and hatches and hazard lights are on before engine start-up.
