One thing to make landing easier:

With 500 ft pounds of torque with approach flaps and gear down, at 500' AGL and on glide-slope, if you go to full flaps, you'll cross the fence at blue line, which is about 10 knots above Vref, which is about perfect. Once you cross the fence, just slowly start working power back and also start pulling back on the yoke. Should give you a descent landing.

During the interview, they should help you with power settings etc. to make the thing work. I'd be very surprised if they expected you to come in and fly to ATP standards. They're probably looking to see if you can keep the airplane right-side up and do it smoothly.
