yes, indeed, 2-3 minutes at low RPM is sufficient for the engines with turbo.

I haven't flown the Duke but I have flown turbo engines which are closely cowled similar to the Duke. You need to be very careful just how long you idle as the CHT begins to rise rather dramatically after a few minutes.

Thanks for your replies. I was asking out of curiosity as I've seen one taxiing in a Be60 and shutting the engine down right away. Didn't look right to me as I fly Conti GTSIO and TSIO 520 and they have a cool down period of 3min after landing.
