Thank you for this. Having very little knowledge of the mechanics of aircrafts but desperately wanting to learn to fly, this video helped me tremendously. Just starting on my PPL and have A LOT to learn. Baby stepping over here!
You should add that the prop is feathered to prevent it wind milling which would cause the prop to turn the internals the dead engine and probably tear it up. That's a bad thing, further expense and the risk of it tearing itself right off the wing if it seizes.
In the real world, going from single-engine to multi certification is one of the most difficult parts of Pilot training. You HAVE to be proficient in asymmetric flight, and this is one area where "Commercial Aircraft" simulator training has paid for itself time over time - there have been more than enough serious (often dual-fatality) crashes where trainee Pilots have had real-world problems doing asymmetric landings. ALL Commercial operators now train asymmetric flight using simulators only (and that's fully IATA compliant)
right. I just thought that, as I said, turbo prop simply meant turbocharged and not a "jet powered propeller." I know that the p51 was turbocharged so they could keep up with the long range b29 in ww2. it allowed the escort to remain with the bombers all the way to Berlin from the British Isles instead of having to rtb half way there like other planes that didn't have a turbo charged engine. I wondered why the p51 wasn't referred to as turbo prop, but now I know.
turbo props do NOT have a direct connection to the main shaft, rather they are drive from a separate shaft with its own turbine disk that the gas impinges on causing the prop to rotate......
You mention horizontal cylinder block as engine type for DC-3, DC-3 had a radial piston Wright R- 1820, is this just a language barrier? We had 2, Pratt and Whitney 99W , Double Wasp , 18 cylinder air- cooled radial piston engines on our C123 Providers, again not a block. Always called them radial. So are radial piston engines "blocks"? Pistons are in radial cylinders not block.
Pity your sim package doesn't allow some "creative editing" where powerplants are concerned. I rather fancy "flying" the King Air 350 fitted with Kuznetsov NK-12's ( just because . . . :-D )
Not really, usually an aircraft's manual gives guidance on how to adjust the propeller pitch for a given stage of flight. For example, if you're flying at 100 knots, then adjust the propeller pitch until the propeller RPM's are 2000 RPM.... just a rough example. On larger planes, an on-board computer automatically controls the propeller pitch.
In passenger planes, the flight management systems will try to keep the engine(s) running within the "highest conversion efficiency" rev. range, varying power absorption (via the prop(s)) by varying pitch. In manual systems the Pilot will adjust pitch and throttle to keep RPM in this sweet spot. On take-off, the engine(s) will be run at the maximum output rev. band (which is not always maximum RPM) - less fuel efficiency but maximum available power (when you obviously need it!).

Good luck for the PPL!
Doofer911 much thanks!
Great explanation of these types of engines! I don't use a flight simulator, but I do love aviation.
So do I friend
Thank you, great info. And awesome graphics
You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Nice and clean explanation 👍🏼
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
yeah checklist flights etc would be great !
Maule Orion is also a piston aircraft, aside Cessna 172 and the other piston planes :) just remembering it... noticing
Well done!
Interesting. I always thought 'turbo prop' meant that it used turbo chargers as opposed to just being a normally aspirated combustion engine.
Yeah I thought that too!
There are standard piston engines that are turbochanged. They're better than non-supercharged engines for higher altitudes.

awesome. ..hats off 😄thank you
Hi Doffer
Very awesome video. Just make more of that stuff. Thanks for this cool video :))
SpotterSky Thank you very much, I'll do my best! :)
Brilliant $ still relevant, even if it is 5 years old :-)
Pity your sim package doesn't allow some "creative editing" where powerplants are concerned. I rather fancy "flying" the King Air 350 fitted with Kuznetsov NK-12's ( just because . . . :-D )
Is there any video that shows how to handle the pitch of propeller Cessna!
Not really, usually an aircraft's manual gives guidance on how to adjust the propeller pitch for a given stage of flight.

I fly It at about 2300 RPM (In real life).

What is a gust lock used for?
Gust locks are just mechanical locks which prevent doors or flight surfaces from being blown about in windy conditions on the ground.
Get you help me learn turboprop engine, from Indonesia
I'm glad this video could help :)
Seems like you have a degree on physics and/or engineering.
Did you give up aviation???? Which I cannot believe you will
what is The name of the simulator you use
+Youssef Al Hoceima Microsoft Flight Simulator: Steam Edition
Are you a real world pilot?
+dancing bear Sadly not :(
