Learn To Fly Here Video #4. The constant speed propeller is explained but also illustrated while in flight with the help of some graphics that move as controls and power settings change. The propeller control lever directly changes the pitch of the propeller blades and this video shows what happens to the blades while in flight. This video talks about how the propeller works and how to use it correctly.
This video also talks about different propeller types such as climb and cruise props. How to set the propeller control and the order of throttle, prop lever, and mixture is demonstrated as well as the order of operation for increasing power.
High and low pitch stops can make a constant speed propeller act like a fixed pitch propeller. This video explains why. It also explains why an aircraft like the Cirrus SR22 has a constant speed propeller but NO PROP LEVER.
This video was made with Microsoft Flight Simulator and is for entertainment purposes only. Always consult applicable publications for real world applications concerning systems and limitations for specific aircraft.
Switch functions and controls can change over time in the simulator with updates. This video was made in September 2021 after Sim Update 5 and World Update 6.
If you are preparing for a Private Pilot checkride, this oral exam guide is a must buy. I used it myself back in the 90s and had all my students use it to prepare for checkrides when working as a Flight Instructor - [ Ссылка ]

CORRECTION - The Cirrus does not have a FADEC. A separate cable is attached to the throttle which controls the propeller via the governor. The system is set to maintain 2500 RPM during cruise and 2700 RPM at full power.
