Didn't read all of it yet, but the flight idle stop on the Metro was at best flimsy, and if worn, the levers could be moved inadvertently below the flight idle position without lifting the triggers...a low flight idle fuel flow could also cause negative torque situation with power levers at the flight idle position...it has been the cause of more than one Metro/Merlin accident
