A PC-6 can go into beta in flight per the POH, or so I'm told (I'm not a PC-6 driver).
Just wait till you find a misrigged plane. I was landing once and bought the levers back to idle only for the plane to just stop flying and slam in.
That's what happens when you have guys who buy aircraft parts at NAPA rigging PT6s...That used to happen regularly on the old 1900 B/C models I flew back in the day. Bring the power back to idle in the flare, and suddenly one prop decides to go into ground fine. Makes for an interesting landing.
Whatever you do, no matter the conditions - don't run Lean of Peak. Also, don't forget to check the mags before every take-off.

what class?Sitting in class when I read this. I lol'ed way too hard. Was asked to explain what was so funny. Tried. Failed. Epic. FTW!

My favorite so far has been an uncommanded reverse on rollout.
"In command of your flight today is Captain Jeremy Clarkson."Im hoping that "drifting" will be added to the list.

That very much depends on your airplane and even then the engine in that airplane. I hit the forward travel limits all the time in the DA's we fly in without touching any limitation.If you've hit the stoppers with the power levers, something has probably gone awry.

Ya, those to.I hit the stops every time I fly, regardless of the airframe.
The aft stops.
Thats the way it is with us too, unless you are doing a battery start, then you introduce fuel before you lose momentum on the acceleration.Introducing fuel at/near max motoring N2 is policy where I work, due to the reasons you've mentioned. Cooler starts.
