I understand this aircraft is a turbo commander, fitted with Garretts, TPE331's they are a beast nothing like the piston variant. I've never been a fan of Garretts negative torque sensing system (NTS) rarely are both props blade angles identical at flight idle.
Clearly there are misconceptions around these issue and I think it's healthy to discuss it from a learning perspective. People do learn things here you know.
One of my personal favorite training exercises is a flame out in the cruise at max cruising altitude and watch it unfold, usually takes about 50 seconds while the pilot is distracted with engine instruments and checklists. For sim instructors do this with motion "off "
