During a rapid descent of a turboprop aircraft, which consequence results when the propeller's angle of attack significantly decreases?

💡 Explanation

Engine overspeed results because decreased angle of attack reduces load. This reduction causes the gas turbine to accelerate beyond design limits due to reduced opposing torque, a phenomenon called "turbine runaway;" therefore overspeed happens, rather than optimal power, maintaining stable efficient deceleration.
