I was not talking about landings, I am talking about comming down from say,
12,000 ft.
As I said, this is in the book, not something I made up off the top of my head.

Pulling the prop back IS reducing power.

I was taught not push the prop forward until I had the runway made.
(Pulling back reduces RPM, pushing it forward increases RPM)
Do you know how your prop "fails" when the engine stops pumping oil to
the governor?
