Been some yearsOnly used 1050 rpm if we wanted to climb in a hurry.
No need to apologize. Some of us here knew what you meant.I'm sorry, I need to explain it better.
We only used 1050 on a climbout if we wanted to climb faster. Our normal climb profile was 90%/900RPM.
On an ILS, we were already at 23-26% at 1200RPM, so naturally, the go-around would be at 1200RPM.

For sim typically the profile goes like this: try to maintain 160kts troughout the eval if you are allowed. This keeps everything slow. Reduce the power to between 30-35% when you are a dot and a half below the glide slope. When speed is below 158kts drop the gear, when below 148kts flaps 15, then bring the props to max. The torque should reduce to about 24% or so, and that will give you about ref + 20 at 1000ft, and ref +10 by 500ft. Don't mess with the power too much, or you will be all over the place. Hope this helps.
One other thing I'd like to add to Capt. G's outstanding brief...
Learn to really use your flight director. I cannot emphasize that enough. During my initial DHC-8 training, I was still doing it the old beater freight dog way i.e. flight director must be the guy that brings me my freight and tells me where to go... basically HSI, airspeed, altimeter, VSI, etc. Once I got used to the flight director, it was all a cake, especially single engine work since you have to handfly those approaches.
