I'm talking about a constant speed prop on a single engine aircraft, in this case a Mooney 201. Windmill RPM was about 800, and no amount of pulling on the prop control would change that RPM. Obviously, if the RPM doesn't change, the prop pitch didn't change, and the glide is not affected. Certainly seems to make a difference on an idling engine. I expect that my engine at idle is not developing much thrust (for she'll die when it's hot once I roll out unless I give her a little gas). Ron, is your engine injected? If it is, you need to adjust the idle mixture to prevent the starvation. Yes, it is actually probably too rich at idle. It's on my list, it only happens on excessively hot days. |
