The propeller is a vital component of the aircraft. A mechanical failure of the propeller could cause a forced landing or create vibrations sufficiently severe to damage the aircraft, possibly causing it to become uncontrollable.

    Propeller Owner's Manual 5. Pilot Operating Instructions A. Non-governing (Hydroselective Propeller) (1) Push the propeller pitch control forward to increase RPM and pull the propeller pitch control back to decrease RPM. The blade pitch will follow the propeller pitch control command precisely and the propeller RPM will reflect the movement immediately.
  • Page 60 Propeller Owner's Manual (9) Landing Push the pitch control forward before landing to enable an emergency takeoff again if necessary. (10) Taxi Taxi with the pitch control fully forward for lowest blade angle. (11) Reverse Pitch Operation (HC-D2[MV,V,X]20-[3, -6L]) (a) Before attempting to reverse the pitch the RPM must be reduced to 1200 RPM or less for engines with oil pump pressure of less than 50 psi.

  • Page 61: Governing (Constant Speed Operation)

    Propeller Owner's Manual CAUTION: REDUCE RPM FIRST WHEN MOVING BLADE ANGLE FROM REVERSE PITCH TO LOW PITCH TO AVOID OVERSPEED WHEN MOVING THROUGH ZERO (MINIMUM AERODYNAMIC LOAD) BLADE ANGLE. (c) Before coming out of reverse pitch reduce RPM with throttle to approximately 1200 RPM. NOTE: The higher the RPM, the faster the pitch moves from reverse to low pitch.
  • Page 62 Propeller Owner's Manual (6) Cruise Select RPM for best fuel consumption in accordance with Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH). (7) Landing Push the governor RPM control forward for maximum RPM before landing to enable an emergency takeoff again if necessary.
