7.9.2 OPERATING CONTROLS
POWER lever
The engine performance is controlled by the power lever, situated on the large center
console. 'Front' and 'rear' are defined in relation to the direction of flight.
This lever is used to set the desired engine power LOAD (%)
Lever forward (MAX) = Full power
Lever to rear (IDLE)
= Idle
The ECU controls manifold pressure, injected fuel quantity and propeller speed according
to the desired engine power preselected with the power lever.
The propeller governor is attached to the top rear side of the gearbox and uses gearbox
oil for propeller pitch regulation. Following a loss of oil pressure the propeller blades go
to the low pitch stop (maximum RPM), thus allowing continuation of the flight according
to 3.3.6 - DEFECTIVE RPM REGULATING SYSTEM.
