Yxcapt:

Hadn't really given it much thought but it is probably because the a/c is configured for climb and is usually accelerating whereas on a landing it is generally the opposite.Hmmm.

Anyhow, practice go arounds in light piston engine twins can get out of hand real fast if you are only using one engine to fly it, easy to correct most mistakes at altitude however can be dangerous near the ground.

Just reinforces my own opinion about feathering just to have a look at the prop stopped. It flys the same in simulated feather with the option of using the 0 thrust engine immediately should you need it.

When someone wishes to see / practice an actual feathering unfeathering sequence I get a ground power unit and we feather / unfeather parked on the ramp or sitting in the hangar.

No danger involved in doing it that way.

Can't wait for spring so I can go back to work instead of giving myself a keyboard lobotomy on pprune. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
