Really, an SR22 is fixed pitch? Or does it have some throttle/prop interconnect?FastEddieB wrote:No prop control on a Cirrus.MrMorden wrote:That's a Cirrus cockpit, I think.drseti wrote:I notice that student is training in an aircraft with a constant speed prop. Ain't no LSA!
The latter. A single "Power Lever". Full throttle gives max prop rpm. Initial rearward travel drops rpm but keeps (essentially) full throttle. Keep pulling back and eventually MP and rpm fall together. Quite an elegant solution, though some pilots have expressed a wish that there was a blue knob - and one company came out with an STC to add one.MrMorden wrote:

Doesn't that take away a lot of pilot options for power and prop settings?FastEddieB wrote:The latter. A single "Power Lever". Fun throttle gives max prop rpm.
