Propeller feathering
WARNING! Feather propeller only after the engine has stopped and at minimum pitch.
To feather the propeller, rst reduce airspeed to 90 km/h (50 kts), then pull the propeller pitch knob’s
metal base backwards fully and then rotate it 20° clockwise. A propeller pitch of approximately 70° is
reached by doing so. To feather the propeller fully (90°), rotate the knob clockwise a couple of times
until it stops.
Propeller unfeathering
To unfeather the propeller, rst reduce airspeed to 90 km/h (50 kts) and screw the propeller pitch
knob to the left fully. Then pull the propeller pitch knob’s metal base slightly, rotate it counter clock-
wise for 20° and gently push it all the way to the instrument panel.
WARNING! Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to restart the engine while the propel-
ler is feathered. This would most denitely result in engine, propeller and/or aircraft’s structural
damage.
