  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Operation of Systems › Feathering Propellers

  engine airplanes. However, there are certain features that are found more often in airplanes with two or more engines. Feathering Propellers Although the propellers of a multiengine airplane may appear identical to a constant-speed propeller used in many single ... engine airplanes, this is usually not the case. The pilot of a typical multiengine airplane can feather the propeller of an inoperative engine. Since it stops engine rotation with the propeller blade streamlined with the airplane’s relative wind, feathering…

  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Engine Inoperative Flight Principles › OEI Climb Performance

  This is a condition of zero sideslip, and the airplane is presenting its smallest possible profile to the relative wind. As a result, drag is at its minimum. Pilots know this as coordinated flight. In a multiengine airplane with ... inoperative engine, the centered ball is no longer the indicator of zero sideslip due to asymmetric thrust. In fact, there is no flight deck instrument that directly indicates conditions for zero sideslip. In the absence of a yaw string…

  With the pilot’s hand: ⦁ When pulling the elevator pitch control toward the pilot, which is an aft movement of the control wheel, yoke, control stick, or side stick controller (referred to as adding back pressure), the airplane’s nose ... will rotate backwards relative to the pilot around the pitch (lateral) axis of the airplane. Think of this movement from the pilot’s feet to the pilot’s head. ⦁ When pushing elevator pitch control toward the instrument panel, (referred…

  foamed. The pilot should consider burning off excess fuel. This reduces landing speed and fire potential. If the landing gear malfunction is limited to one main landing gear leg, the pilot should consume as much fuel from that side ... landing roll until the last possible moment. Reduced impact speeds result in less damage. If only one landing gear leg fails to extend, the pilot has the option of landing on the available gear legs or landing with…

  Figure 12-6. Controllable-pitch propeller pitch angles. When an airplane engine runs at a constant governed speed, the torque (force) exerted by the engine at the propeller shaft equals the force resisting the moving blades. The pilot uses ... propeller control to change engine rpm by adjusting the propeller blade pitch, which increases or decreases the air resistance on the rotating propeller. For example, pulling back on the propeller control moves the propeller blades to a higher pitch. This…

  Chapter 7: Propellers › Turboprop Engines & Propeller Control Systems › Turbo-Propeller Assembly

  Turbo-Propeller Assembly The turbo-propeller provides an efficient and flexible means of using the power of the engine at any condition in flight (alpha range). [Figure 7-47] For ground handling and reversing (beta range), the propeller ... operated to provide either zero or negative thrust. The major subassemblies of the propeller assembly are the barrel, dome, low-pitch stop assembly, overspeed governor, pitch control unit, auxiliary pump, feather and unfeather valves, torque motor, spinner, deice timer, beta…
