Module 17. Propeller

Auto feathering is disarmed

  • during landing.
  • during take off.
  • in the cruise.

Jordi asking:

why is it disarmed during cruise?Wouldnt be right to have it auto while crusing in case of engine failure?

I've searched it on the internet and it says: "An automatic feathering system was first introduced on the Martin 4-0-4 aircraft, a piston engine airplane. The system was designed to automatically feather an engine that failed during takeoff or initial climb. It is not used during cruise.".
