From the "how to FLYING THE SPITFIRE: Flying a Circuit topic":
From the A2A Checklist:Throttle to 2,200 r.p.m., magnetos individually checked, drop of no more than 160 r.p.m., Propeller to COARSE PITCH- check for r.p.m. drop, then up to 2,400 r.p.m., close throttle slightly, check that r.p.m. remains at 2,400, then return Propeller to FINE PITCH, throttle to smooth, low idle.
Still confused how to do this Check, smoothly and correctly?11c. If ROTOL CONSTANT-SPEED AIRSCREW: Slowly reduce airscrew control to 2400 R.P.M.
Throttle down a little and observe R.P.M. to be CONSTANT at 2,400 R.P.M.
Then, set airscrew control lever fully forward to: FULL FINE PITCH
What do i do:
- RPM to Fine (SHIFT+F4)
- Throttle to 2 PSI
- RPM down to 2400 via (SHIFT-F2)
- If i touch the throttle even a slightness the RPM goes down with it
Any pointers?
