chopjock But if "over torque" only causes the belts to slip, then one could overspeed it on the ground checks to confirm fuel shut off to idle is set correctly, right?
Yes ... that would seem obvious , but I think an overspeed without load would be using much less fuel than an overspeed under maximum load .... something like that .... a computer makes some fuel-rate decisions in there somewhere , I will ask the owner next time we talk. Thanks.
