What is ITT in a simple definition? And how to deal with the error?
Im getting the itt error through the flying, i get that its a way to monitor the turbine temperature ... or atleast think so, but how do i deal with it? Thank you in advance pilots. :lunar2020ratinablanket:

ITT is interturbine temperature. In technical terms, its the temperature of exhaust gas in your turbine engine between High and Low Pressure turbines. But really, it's just exhaust gases coming out of your turbine engine (measure between some turbine sections) after fuel and air is ignited and is normally indicated so you don't over temp your engine.

I don't know what kind of error you are getting, but yeah its probably a temperature thing. You normally run into issues with ITT if you are running your engines past its limitation (in which case, you power back). Or you encounter a hot start, in which you attempt to light an engine with fuel on the ground before you have sufficient N1 rotation (air flow) going through the engine (an issue which I have no idea whether or not is simulated in MSFS).

I usually just ease off the gas a little :)

Maybe you can answer my questions then? Also related to ITT. I've noticed a thing I don't understand. I don't know how is it with other planes, I've noticed it on TBM 930 while standing on parking brakes. Why ITT crazily goes up, when I feather? It also goes up significantly if I reverse thrust. And for some reason while reverse thrust it goes up much more when I'm thrusting forward
