Cirrus SR22T - Propeller Governor Failure

3-30 P/N 13772-005
Section 3 Cirrus Design
Emergency Procedures SR22T
Propeller Governor Failure
1. Power Lever .... Reduce to minimum necessary for sustained flight
2. Airspeed...................................................... Reduce to 85-90 KIAS
3. Oil Pressure ................................................................... MONITOR
4. Land as soon as possible.
Amplification
An in-flight governor failure will likely result in a large exceedance
(3000 RPM or more), as propeller blade angle will be go to fine pitch.
Failure may evidence of engine oil pressure of volume loss, typically
accompanied by OIL PRESSURE warning.
Propeller becomes a fixed pitch propeller; reducing speed to 85-90
KIAS and using only power necessary for sustained flight at that speed
will minimize the overspeed.
