PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK
Throttle (Figure 7.6.3)
The throttle has two operating modes : Thrust mode and Condition mode.
- Thrust mode
The throttle is in vertical position. It modulates engine power from full reverse to max power.
Engine running, the throttle rearward displacement, past the lock using the detent, allows to control :
- the engine power in the Beta range from idle to maximum reverse,
- the Beta valve to select the propeller pitch in reverse.
Return to idle position is accomplished by pushing the throttle forward.
DO NOT MOVE THE COCKPIT THROTTLE INTO THE PROPELLER REVERSE POSITION
REVERSE MAY ONLY BE SELECTED WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND PROPELLER
When engine is shutdown, there is no oil pressure in the propeller and the feathering spring locks the Beta
ring and the propeller reversing interconnect linkage on the engine.
All rearward effort on the throttle, past the idle stop, may damage or break the flexible control cable.
- Condition mode
The throttle is moved to the condition side by lifting the knob.
As long as the throttle is in condition mode, the propeller is in feather position.The throttle can be positioned
to CUT OFF, idle LO / IDLE or idle HI / IDLE.
Change from idle "HI / IDLE" to "LO / IDLE" position requires moving the throttle rearwards.
Change from idle "LO / IDLE" to CUT OFF position is only possible after having overridden the idle gate. To
override idle gate, raise the throttle and move it rearwards.
