Dash8-300 Prop sys question!
I kindly submit this question to all Dash8 pilots on this forum. In preparation for sim, I stumbled across this quandry! With a prop overspeed, hypothetically above 1330Rpm, both governors, hyd, and pneumatic, have been compromised, and allowed for this runaway condition. According to the memory items, at the end it says "if unable to feather the prop do not shutdown engine." That's fine, the point that I am ineptly trying to make is that, if it is obvious that the prop has runaway such an extrordinary amount, can one assume it won't feather anyway! Would one want to shut it down, and lose the systems run off the accessory drives? Was this part of the procedure just stated for liability on the part of DHC?
If anyone can make sense of this post please reply.
Thanx,
BEX
