[...] Again, from direct observation, this can be caused by insufficient

oil
supply to the gov pad (see above), excessive rotor-to-housing
clearance/physical gov oil pump damage, a fault in the oil pressure
relief valve, or in extreme cases, excessive clearances/oil loss
between the main crankshaft bearing and the crankshaft.


Your oh-so-respectful approach to your criticism notwithstanding (full of
insults and personal mischaracterizations), I think it's interesting you
don't bother to list "low RPM" as a fault that could interfere with prop
governing.

[...] Over the years in these forums,
my chosen profession has been repeatedly attacked, my personal
experience and intent questioned.


So, you choose to propogate the madness? IMHO, once you start doing it
yourself, you lose the right to complain about others doing it to you.

Nice edit job. I was really looking forward to re-reading all the
"insults and personal mischaracterizations".

Well ya see, noone driving a single-engine has ever walked into the
hangar with a gripe about "nothing happening" when they pulled the
prop control back at idle while practicing engine-outs. If it had
happened, up until a day or so ago, I would have told them it was
normal.

I don't live in a glass house (work in GA) any more, so I can throw
stones whenever the mood strikes me.

BTW it would tend to be a little more interesting/challenging if your
apparent "personality" was unique in this industry. Sadly, it is not.

Speaking theoretically of course, a few years ago had you strolled
into the hangar and handed me the attitude you tend to exhibit online,
I wouldn't have been able to laugh my ass off until after you had
walked back out.

Can you hear me now?
