CAUTION! Always fly in such a manner that you are able to reach at least one landing-out site every moment of the flight. This especially applies to unpowered flight as ignition, engine and/or propeller malfunction may prevent you from restarting the engine and by that resuming normal flight. decreasing propeller pitch increasing propeller pitch The screw in the middle of the knob indicates propeller pitch status. The screw is deep inside the knob when at minimum pitch and slides out as propeller pitch is increased. When taking-off, always make sure propeller is set to minimum pitch to ensure maximum engine efficiency. To set the propeller to minimum pitch, screw the propeller pitch knob located on the instrument panel counter clockwise completely. Prior to taking-off, engine and propeller ground check must be performed. At full power and propeller pitch at minimum, RPM must not exceed designated limits. Verify also, that the RPM drop significantly when setting propeller pitch to maximum setting (knob screwed to the right fully, but not feathered!). When returning propeller pitch back to minimum setting, the RPM must reach same initial value as before engine and propeller ground check! CAUTION! Verify RPM and engine parameters multiple times. If propeller pitch is increased (rotate knob clockwise), engine’s RPM will drop. Do not, under any circumstances, allow engine underrotation. Should this occur, immediately decrease prop. pitch to regain proper engine cruise parameters. WARNING! Both engine under- and overrotation may cause significant damage to the engine and propeller.
