how come when I push it forward more it stays and never goes above 96% on a certain PT6 I've flown?


Torque limiter in action. It acts by limiting the fuel flow


Whilst the Tq limiter removes fuel via air py bleed air line the fact of 96% is not a case of tq limiting. This is a fact of either engine condition or environment conditions. And with out have the details I would think more engine condition. Generally Tq limiter is set around 104% and above, it differs for each aircraft model. For example a tbm which has a derated engine will never over tq the engine but can over Tq the airframe.


So saying the tq limiter is in action is completely incorrect.
