I don’t want to start an argument with you, Clare, as you’re vastly more experienced than I am. But you can stop a windmilling prop in the air (if you have time). Presumably you’ve been through an ‘air start’ exercise many times, which exercise involves stopping the prop from windmilling first? And my scenario was about reducing the probabilities of the aircraft flipping on ditching, not about ‘saving the prop’.
