Torque Limiter
ASER
You are in dangerous territory. Nowhere in the flight manual, other than the OEI Training Mode, is use of the TL recommended.
If you do some digging you may find a story in which one aircraft was saved because the TL was OFF. It is designed to be OFF.
In any subsequent enquiry your routine selection of the TL may look very foolish...... if you survive.

PS - There have been several 109 accidents that may have had a different outcome if the TL had been off (on the 109E it's normally ON but later models have it as per the 139, normally OFF)
