Thanks a lot for your correction aterpster.
Do other aircraft have a similar system?
Yup, Dash 8's autofeather (when armed and fully operational) should feather the failing engine prop and add 10% nominal torque to the live engine. It's called Power Uptrim in the DHC-8. When in the sim (suprisingly) the autofeather doesn't do it's job, laughter ensues.
May I re-ask my question?
Oh, and BTW, as MCT is a lower setting than T/O thrust, and taking into consideration that engines are usually certified to run at TOP for 5 or 10 mins, would it be "wise" leaving the good engine at the TOP setting for, say 4 or 9 minutes (depending on the limitation) when an engine fails? That way you get some little extra thrust much needed to get away from planet Earth
