beta rabge selection
Hi,
Looking through the report, I'm still wondering what the position of the power levers was during the last part of the approach.
I can't seem to find whether the levers were in flight idle, or below that.
This is a rather important part, since there is also a mechanical lock on the levers preventing inadvertent selection of power below flight idle.
Did the props go into beta range at gear down selection because the mechanical lock was lifted, and the (non-modified) anti-skid system signalled spin-up? Or was there a fault in the Power lever angle measering as well?

P.S. 4000 hours for a turboprop captain doesn't seem inexperienced to me.
