Hempy, the power levers on the Dash do not have a detent at the flight idle stop. Discing (below flight idle) requires pulling the triggers to unlock the power levers below the flight idle gate.

There is however, a detent between discing and reverse.

Australian registered Dash 8's are fitted with an aural alarm which will sound if one or more of the triggers are pulled in flight.
