I look forward to winning the lottery and buying you a
drink.

Hell, unless one of us has to put gas in our cars, we should be able to
afford a bottle of Jack Daniels between us :-)))

thread.
| Any general comment should be picked up as a post to the
original poster by

referenced to the

"lecture" on how to do a

accidentally picking him
| up to underpost instead of the initial poster who had
asked about rolls. :-)
| The pilot I gave the lecture to simply gave me a one word
reply "Thanks"
| with a smilie attached :-)
| That get together sounds like fun. I'll bring the bottle!

can't

| | The prop governor controls within a range and should
| hold a
| | steady rpm within that range. When the run-up is
done
| at
| | say, 2400 rpm the prop should be cycled to the
minimum
| rpm
| | and allowed to stabilize for a few seconds to check
that
| the
| | governor is working properly. On a multiengine
airplane
| the
| | prop should be reduced to just outside the feather
| detent
| | and allowed to run for several seconds to be sure
that
| the
| | prop isn't feathering at the minimum governed speed
| [usually
| | 2000 rpm on most piston engines]. If the prop
control
| is
| | not rigged properly the prop will feather too soon.
| Then
| | the prop feather check should be done.
| |
| | Most props have a certain amount of internal leakage
to
| keep
| | warm oil circulating in the prop hub, but several
cycles
| on
| | a cold engine/prop will assure that the prop does
reach
| | proper operating temperatures.
| |
| | In very cold temperatures, I like to vary the rpm
every
| some
| | often to be sure the prop is functioning, but normal
| | internal flow should make this mostly an unneeded
habit.
| |
| | Remember, on a single-engine reducing rpm send oil
to
| the
| | prop and on a multi, reducing rpm/feathering drain
oil
| from
| | the prop.

| | | Hi!
| | |
| | | I was told by my mechanic to only pull the prop
| handle
| | until I could
| | | audibly
| | | hear a slight pitch change to establish that it
was
| | working.
| | |
| | | However, the aircraft manual says it should be
| cycled
| | completely, and on a
| | | cold engine three times to make sure oil is
applied
| to
| | the governor, or
| | | the
| | | pitch mechanism.
| | |
| | | Can someone elaborate on this?
| | |
| | | What is recommended?
| | |
| | | Thanks,
| | |
| | | Frode
| | |
| | | POH rules of course, but aside from that, I always
| liked
| | to exercise a prop
| | | through several cycles, especially when cold, just
to
| get
| | everything nice
| | | and warm and fluid up there.
