Yes.

Some of the SE turbine birds can go 'beta' for an air brake and also
into reverse pitch and back up.

When shut down they go to the feathered mode (as I'm sure you have
seen in pictures and on the ramp).

The T-6A (Texan II) TRAINER can probably do all as outlined above.
It's engine, the PT-6A feathers the prop on shut down.

Where do we go from here? G

When training for engine out, do you actually turn off the mags?


After engine is stopped with prop feathered, Yes, it's in the check
list.


*blink* in a SE trainer? *blink*


Are there *any* single-engine trainers that have the ability to feather
the prop?
