DFE3 Manual propeller pitch control

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to control an aircraft and operate a propeller fitted with a manual propeller pitch control on the ground and in flight during normal and abnormal and emergency situations.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               DFE3.1 – Perform pre-flight and pre-take-off checks for manual propeller pitch control
            1.        perform propeller pre-flight checks ensuring the serviceability of the following:
                   1.          propeller;
                   2.         spinner (when fitted);
                   3.       backing plate;
            2.        CSU control rods and cables are checked to confirm they are intact and secure (when visible);
            3.         perform propeller pre-take-off checks, including the following:
                   1.          oil temperature and pressure within limits;
                   2.         function of propeller pitch control at specified RPM;
                   3.       function of propeller feather system when applicable.
     2.               DFE3.2 – Operate manual propeller pitch control during ground and flight operations
            1.        operates manual propeller pitch control on the ground within the limitations and conditions specified in AFM and POH, ensuring:
