Perhaps you forgot that the later turbine engined versions had a manual engine reversion mode so that the pilot was required to operate the "throttle" too. Students had to learn to fly with the turbine in manual throttle, which requires more skill and anticipation than than for a piston engine because of the greater lag in response. Certain QHIs had the habit of freezing the computer just as you thought you were doing quite well....
