Questions and Answers

What is the primary method used to maintain constant RPM in a propeller?

  • Increasing the propeller diameter
  • Altering the engine power output
  • Changing the blade angle (pitch) (correct)
  • Adjusting the balance of the propeller
  • What happens to the RPM when the pitch of the propeller is reduced?

  • RPM remains unchanged
  • RPM decreases due to higher brake moment
  • RPM is completely independent of pitch
  • RPM increases due to smaller brake moment (correct)
  • When can the propeller governor not maintain constant RPM?

  • When RPM is correctly set via rods
  • When engine power is significantly reduced (correct)
  • When the propeller control lever is set to idle
  • When the propeller is set to fine pitch
  • Which component measures RPM and sends a signal to the governor?
