When are 206B pilots going to realize that in a descent at flat pitch, it's REALLY hard to tell whether the throttle is at Idle or Full.  Looking at the gauges doesn't tell you much.  You do *not* get a reliable or noticeable N2 needle-split in a C20/C20B.  Pilots who expect to see a needle-split have been misinformed or trained badly.  And even at Full throttle, at flat pitch the N1 may be down close to 62%, which looks a lot like Idle.  Now, if both pilots swear that the throttle was at Full, then "something else" caused this hard landing.
