212Man,
Sounds like the two are flown the same way, using the engine limiter to control engine limits, and flying the Nr to keep workload down. That was not stated previously, you hung your hat on the first limit indicator and the autopilot! Sounds like they are all flown the same way, except the 350, which requires the pilot to look up a bunch of data on his kneeboard!
Yes you did steal the thread, when you defended the French by bringing up two other, irrelevant pieces of kit when we were talking about the 350. The 350 is still a bear to fly OEI, but I do concede, the other EC models are well governed!
