CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 208B G1000 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
ENGINE CONTROLS
The engine is operated by four separate controls consisting of a power
lever, EMERGENCY POWER Lever, PROP RPM Lever, and a FUEL
CONDITION Lever. The power and FUEL CONDITION Levers are
engine controls while the PROP RPM Lever controls propeller speed
and feathering.
POWER LEVER
The power lever is connected through linkage to a cam assembly
mounted in front of the fuel control unit at the rear of the engine. The
power lever controls engine power through the full range from
maximum takeoff power back through idle to full reverse. The lever also
selects propeller pitch when in the BETA range. The power lever has
MAX, IDLE, and BETA and REVERSE range positions. The range from
MAX position through IDLE enables the pilot to select the desired
power output from the engine. The BETA range enables the pilot to
control propeller blade pitch from idle thrust back through a zero or nothrust
condition to maximum reverse thrust.
CAUTION
The propeller reversing linkage can be damaged if the
power lever is moved aft of the idle position when the
propeller is feathered.
