Variable pitch prop "endorsement"?
I understand that in the UK, there is specific training and an endorsement for flying variable pitch propeller planes? Would a learned person please describe to me what's in the training, who does it, and what "endorsement" is applied to the candidate's license upon completion?
I'm doing some design approval work which will involve a different powerplant and propeller operating characteristics, and would like to familiarize myself with other authority's training and licensing requirements in this regard. In Canada, there is no requirement for variable pitch/constant speed type training, read the flight manual, locate the blue knob, and go and fly. That's not to say that some training is not a good idea, it's just not a licensing requirement here....
Thanks, Pilot DAR
