The clip at the end re the EPL was very helpful, unless you have a 208 sim we never get to see that lever used, and just to see its sensitivity was really helpful! Great video all around.

insightful,thank you for the video.

[@isaacnjomo2242]

a question,when connecting the interconnecting rod to the FCU arm do you lift the arm to 20 degrees below horizontal as previously rigged and hold it there as you adjust and connect the interconnect rod?In the video that need is not highlighted ,he simply lifts the arm lengthens the rod and attaches it without mentioning if the arm was held at the 20 degrees or if he simply sensed the pick up point by feeling the slight resistance as the he moves the arm up .Kindly clarify

Does the PT6 in a Cessna have auto feathering on engine failure?? I see the manual feathering lever and its adjustment. Thank you for any info

[@jhonmos1]

Hi guys..I like how you explain everything detailed....could you explain me why the propeller lever is fully forward when the engine is going to be starting...I hope receive your answer and understand that condition...

[@hassanshuaib9910]

I think its because it puts the prop in low drag position.easier to rotate,easier to start

Instructions unclear. Tried to set the angle on the fuel control lever but ended up impregnating my wife.
