PROPELLER SYSTEM OPERATING LIMITATIONS

An overspeed governor test must be performed prior to the first flight of the
day and following engine control system maintenance or adjustments.
Stabilized ground operation is prohibited between 450 and 1050 RPM. The
propeller may be operated when feathered at or below 450 RPM.

ENGINE CONTROL OPERATING LIMITATION

Flight operation with the engine power lever retarded below idle (beta
mode) is prohibited. Flight operation in beta mode may result in an engine
overspeed condition and consequent loss of engine power or loss of airplane
control. Operating in beta mode quickly produces high amounts of drag
which could result in a rapid loss of altitude or complete loss of control.
