The CASA 235 has the lockout feature so that the second engine cannot be mistakenly feathered. It also has an APR (automatic power reserve) that boosts the power on the remaining engine 30 ft lbs above MTOP. The autofeather is armed before takeoff but switched off slightly after. For some reason, it is not to be activated on approach although the 300 series allows this.

Of course in the sim all of these functions malfunction at V1!!
