Propeller types:
propeller Pipistrel BAM2: twin blade, xed pitch composite propeller - diameter 1660 mm
propeller Pipistrel VARIO : twin blade, variable pitch composite propeller - diameter 1620 mm
VARIO propeller
A variable pitch propeller signicantly increases aircraft’s takeo, cruise and glider performance.
CAUTION! Always y in such a manner that you are able to reach at least one landing-out site
every moment of the ight. This especially applies to unpowered ight as ignition, engine and/or
propeller malfunction may prevent you from restarting the engine and by that resuming normal
ight.
Use of Vario propeller
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.
