Optimum idle/minimum RPM with turboprops and jets can also be significant and often more difficult to determine with the types of instrumentation available.

Turboprops running at constant speed often only have a minimum turbine inlet temperature and/or pressure ratio to go by with questionable accuracies at the low end. Then most of any excess thrust roll out problems can often be cancelled out by going into reverse
