condition levers control fuel - not prop governor.

power levers control fuel - prop lever control the governor, which sets an rpm, which dictates blade angle.
I thought the ATR only had PL's and Condition L's. Where are the prop levers then?

Now I'm confused!

I thought that the Power levers control fuel flow, while the position of the condition lever determines the RPM and hence the U/S and O/S govenors will adjust blade angle to maintain that RPM. When the PL are retarded to beta mode, the PL controls blade angle and fuel flow is used to control RPM????
