Thank you for confirming that Bernd, a useful thing to know. There are of course two situations: in case of an engine failure the fine pitch setting could assist a windmill start, but in case of a prop (governor) failure, the fine pitch setting will allow a go-around, at the expense of cruise performance. I was wondering if the second situation would still be valid on a SET.
Another thing I was thinking about is whether, for a free-turbine engine, the prop will keep spinning when one side hits the ground at a low forward speed? As there is no mechanical connection between the power turbine and the gas generator, at a low power setting such as during approach, could you have a situation where the prop is stopped by ground impact and therefore the other blades will not bend?
