I'm curious exactly what criteria causes the TQ Limiter to auto-disengage? Is it really just an NR trigger? I haven't found anywhere that clearly says what causes it to disengage.

I don't have the RFM to hand at the moment, but I think the training text just says it will disengage if an actual engine failure is detected.

So the scenario I'm imagining is an engine run down or reduced power output (but not full flame out) shortly after TDP. If the TQ limiter doesn't drop out, it could be a bad moment to limit the power available from the remaining engine.

BG.
