I flew the original ATR42's about 30 years ago into and out of Rodrigues island Mauritius (Indian Ocean) which had a 3000ft strip 50ft wide, granted it was very near sea level but had no problems. We took off with just 92% power didn't have auto brakes/spoiler and had no problems in most cases the landing wasn't as critical as the takeoff as the end of the strip was a ravine so you had to fly at V1 or die. It was a nice little airplane and a hell of a lot more fun to fly than a A340/330 I flew later.
