What do you mean here? Percent torque?
Right, the BE99 torque is in hundreds of foot pounds, the king air is in torque percentage. Another interesting note, those percentages of torque work well for the Metro as well, with the exception that take off climb and cruise are set by EGT, not torque. Speaking of which, it is the condition levers you want at low idle on the Beechcraft turboprops, I had Metros on the mind when I said speed levers.
