If manual control of the propeller pitch is not available:
•
If propeller control failed with the propeller pitch set inside the
flight range, continued flight is possible, but with caution. Use
the engine throttle to control engine / propeller speed, as with a
fixed pitch propeller.
•
Propeller switch
- off.
CAUTION
Selection of too fine a propeller pitch for the engine
throttle setting will result in an over-speed situation.
Selection of too coarse a propeller pitch may result in
the engine being unable to maintain the desired engine
speed, even at full throttle.
CAUTION
If failure occurred with propeller pitch set at any other pitch than
the fine pitch limit, full power from the engine / propeller
combination may not be available at low speeds.
Consideration
should be given to this during approach and landing.
