  • Question 27-10

    Consider variable pitch propeller of a turbo prop during deceleration When braking propeller supplies negative thrust absorbs engine power. when braking it means when you move power lever in reverse or beta range in 'reverse' pitch position engine/propeller turns in same direction as in normal (forward) pitch position but propeller blade angle positioned to other side of flat pitch in reverse pitch air pushed away from airplane rather than being drawn over it reverse pitch results in braking action rather than forward thrust of airplane.

  • Question 27-11

  • Question 27-13

    The blade angle of a constant speed propeller Increases with increasing true air speed. When it refers to blade angle it refers to angle between chord line the direction of propeller rotation the important bit in this question that it a constant speed prop you are correct in that angle of attack does decrease as forward speed increases so thrust decreases as well therefore rpm would increase csu would sense increase in rpm would then increase blade angle to reduce rpm down to correct speed restore lost thrust.

  • Question 27-14

    A propeller blade twisted so as to Keep local angle of attack constant along blade. The angle of attack the angle between blade chord line the relative airflow trouble is relative airflow different along blade the blade rotating so bit nearest hub has a small speed at right angles to way aircraft going but bit near tip moving rapidly across aircraft flight path to put real numbers on to this a 10 ft blade doing 3000rpm will have a tip speed of about 300mph so if aircraft going forward at 300mph relative airflow hitting tip at 45deg off aircraft centre line thus if you want tip to have same angle of attack as root you have to twist blade 45deg along its length the speed past tip will now be more like 440mph in total so if angle of attack the chord length were same you would get a lot more lift (thrust) out toward tip but only reason why you might not want extra thrust because it might bend blade and if that worries you you can taper blade reducing chord length blade design always a compromise but if you want best efficiency (least fuel consumption) in cruise you will twist blade so all sections reach their most efficient angle of attack at same time.

  • Question 27-15

    A pilot can actuate feathering system Pulling propeller control lever rearwards. by pulling propeller control lever fully rearwards you will feather propeller (to minimize drag in event of an engine failure example) in normal flight you will pull or push propeller control lever to adjust blade pitch the different phases of flight (climb cruise descent) .

  • Question 27-16

    When increasing true airspeed with a constant engine rpm angle of attack of a fixed pitch propeller Pulling propeller control lever rearwards. With fixed propellers throttle controls rpm variations in forward speed affect angle of attack which varies in line with amount of airflow into propeller disc if you increase speed angle of attack reduces if you slow down it increases affecting lift/drag ratio meaning that a fixed pitch propeller gets less efficient as you move away from its optimum speed which usually set cruise.

  • Question 27-17

    A pressure relief valve in an oil system that does not seat correctly could result in Pulling propeller control lever rearwards. To prevent too high a pressure a pressure release valve (prv) fitted it comprises a stainless steel ball bearing a spring the ball forced the spring against an oil port when oil pressure sufficiently high ball if forced off its seat oil allowed to bypass this restriction thus making sure that pressure never gets too high if pressure relief valve not hermetic there will be a leak the pressure decreases.

  • Question 27-18

    In case of engine failure during flight blades of a constant speed propeller in a single engine aeroplane not fitted with feathering system Move in lowest pitch position the centrifugal force and/or spring force. In event of a problem causing engine to stop propeller goes to minimum pitch in order to reduce drag permits pilot to try to restart engine(if possible) with less drag you will have less propeller torque allowing a windmilling start a constant speed propeller system will make use of centrifugal force oil or gas pressure or a spring to reduce pitch.
