Cheyenne III time? Yes. PM sent.
dank dir, i replied to you !

This is true for most turboprops but not for all. I flew some where it was perfectly fine to go to idle before touchdown. It all depends on the design. Every aircraft is different.
well, you can go to idle before touchdown, but very close to the ground . since i of course cannot speak for every turboprop i can assure you that in the ones i have experience- cheyenne I , III and cessna 441 its a very bad idea to follow the instruction that was given and laughfully quoted by me : keep vref and than retard to idle in 40 ft height.

best regards
