Claim 0:
1. An electronic control system for a turbopropeller having a gas turbine engine and a propeller assembly coupled to the gas turbine engine, the control system comprising:
a propeller control stage configured to implement a closed loop control for controlling operation of the propeller assembly based on a scheduled propeller speed reference and a propeller speed measure;
a gas turbine control stage configured to implement a closed loop control for controlling operation of the gas turbine engine; and
an auxiliary control stage coupling the propeller control stage and the gas turbine control stage and configured to determine a limitation of the operation of the gas turbine engine if a propeller speed overshoot is detected with respect to the propeller speed reference.
