Question for turboprop pilots (specially king air c90)
Hi,
since I have expierence only with C172 I curious to know how turboprop engines work, so I tried to fly kingair C90 in my home flght simulator and use POH for checklist and limitations but I have some question because I not sure FSX simulates turboprops as in real live.
1. in torque gauge and POH I see red line at 1315 but in takeoff when advanced the throttles to full forward the torque rise up to 1460 then go back to ~1420 so I needs to reduce power for 1315
2. also when change for climb power, when I reduce RPM from 2200 to 2000, the torque rise from 1315 to ~1500 so again I needs to deduce power for 1315 limitation
3. again in transition to cruise, I reduce Torque to 800-900 but when reduce RPM the Torque rise to something ~1100 then I reduce power to 900.
I know the fact reducing RPM will rise the torque but I dont know if this simulator size of change in torque is true for real engine behavior
