Ahh, the endless discussions that can be had over autofeather.

Tiger 77, I thank you once again and appreciate your patience. Not everybody's cup of tea I know, but I find that the technicalities of aircraft systems can be enormously fascinating.

During the RTO the power levers are pulled back to less than 62 deg, and the system dis-arms because one of the 3 conditions is no longer met.
This suggests that the system can auto disarm.

But, if it auto disarms, shouldn't the failure of an engine then cause an auto disarm (i.e because no longer would both the torques be above 62%)?
