Interesting!
The only knowledge I have of turboprops comes from my school boy days. I used to have a Saturday job cleaning a Commander 690C. Little did they know, that I actually used to do very little cleaning. Instead I used to sit in the back reading the POH. he he

What you've just said makes sense to me. My example was poor. I should have started with the power levers ahead of FLT IDLE. Would be interesting to see what it says about advancing the power levers past the FLT IDLE STOP. From what I remember about the commander, you had to lift two detent latches to bring the power levers back past the FLT IDLE STOP. And (may have this wrong) but this is when beta mode takes over?? (ie Power levers control pitch, and overspeed/underspeed govenor controls RPM through fuel metering)
