Solder PIC24FV16KA304 in 44-TQFP package. Apply a little flux on the PCB pads, then place the IC. Make sure you have a very good alignment.
Solder one lead on a corner to anchor the IC. Then solder the opposite end. Apply some flux on top the leads, then solder the rest.
If you get some solder bridge between the leads, use solder wick to remove the excess solder.
