This is only a guess but may make some sense. Some CS props will go full
pitch if oil pressure is lost, others will to to minimum pitch with no oil pressure. You said that the oil temperature was high. (an indication of low oil level). Also how is the oil pressure just before it shuts down? Being at idle already, full pitch could make enough drag to stall the engine. OTOH, if the engine stalled first, the lack of oil pressure would cause the prop to feather too. Make sure the oil is the right viscosity too. In planes with oil inversion systems, it's important that you have the type of prop that goes to full pitch because the pressure drop during the transition to inverted would cause an engine overspeed if it was the type that went to minimum pitch. Not that yours has an inversion system, but it's nice to know which prop you have. Let me know how you make out, I will be reading the other replies too but am curious to answer to your problem. Wayne "AIR ADVENTURE82" wrote in message ... Today I was flying my Twin Comanche PA30 everything was great until after landing. Once I had the wheels on the ground I pulled the power back to idle, about three seconds or so after I pulled the power back the prop feathered and the engine shut down. I let the engine cool down for about 30 min then started the engine right up. Everything was running great. So I took off and flew around for a while then came back to land, this time after I landed I put the power back up to 1500 rpm, the oil temp was right below redline the oil was at 50psi then the prop feathered and the engine shut down again. This also happened to me yesterday. Every time I land the prop feathers and the engine shuts down . Everythings always great until after landing. I only have 40 hours on the engine. Could anyone please help me out? Has this ever happened to anyone before? Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be thanks for everyone's help. |
