4.7 Normal Operating Procedures and
recommended Airspeeds _________________________
Do not operate the throttle abruptly, but always
gradually
. When the throttle is
operated abruptly, the propeller-pitch does not adjust as quickly as the engine-
power changes. There is the risk of briefly exceeding the maximum allowed
RPM, before the variable-pitch-propeller has adjusted the RPM back to normal.
