CESSNA SECTION 7<br />

MODEL 208B G1000 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION<br />

PROPELLER<br />

The airplane is equipped with a McCauley aluminum material, threebladed<br />

propeller. The propeller is constant-speed, full-feathering,<br />

reversible, single-acting, governor-regulated propeller. A setting<br />

introduced into the governor with the PROP RPM Lever establishes the<br />

propeller speed. The propeller utilizes oil pressure which opposes the<br />

force of springs and counter-weights to obtain correct pitch for the<br />

engine load. Oil pressure from the propeller governor drives the blades<br />

toward low pitch (increases RPM) while the springs and counterweights<br />

drive the blades toward high pitch (decreasing RPM). The source of oil<br />

pressure for propeller operation is furnished by the engine oil system,<br />

boosted in pressure by the governor gear pump, and supplied to the<br />

propeller hub through the propeller flange.<br />

To feather the propeller blades, the PROP RPM Lever on the control<br />

pedestal is placed in the FEATHER position; counterweights and spring<br />

tension will continue to twist the propeller blades through high pitch and<br />

into the streamlined or feathered position. Unfeathering the propeller is<br />

accomplished by positioning the PROP RPM Lever forward of the<br />

feather gate. The unfeathering system uses engine oil pressure to force<br />

the propeller out of feather.<br />

Reversed propeller pitch is available for decreasing ground roll during<br />

landing. To accomplish reverse pitch, the power lever is retarded<br />

beyond IDLE and well into the BETA range. Maximum reverse power is<br />

accomplished by retarding the power lever to the MAX REVERSE<br />

position which increases power output from the gas generator and<br />

positions the propeller blades at full reverse pitch. An externally<br />

grooved feedback ring is provided with the propeller.<br />

Motion of the feedback ring is proportional to propeller blade angle, and<br />

is picked up by a carbon block running in the feedback ring. The<br />

relationship between the axial position of the feedback ring and the<br />

propeller blade angle is used to maintain control of blade angle from<br />

idle to full reverse.<br />

CAUTION<br />

The propeller reversing linkage can be damaged if the<br />

power lever is moved aft of the idle position when the<br />

propeller is feathered.<br />
