Thanx for the quick response.

Have been on the sim at flight safety but cant honestly say that I had the opportunity to play with this situation.

The question I had was for a fixed pitch setting or you could say a failure aft of the mixing unit that causes a full right T/R pitch setting.

As you raise the collective there will not be any change in T/R pitch.

Since the T/R has so much authority I agree that the best course of action is to lower the Nr.

Will the A/C come back into trim in an auto at 90% Nr with a full right pitch setting?

Do you recommend executing the auto at 90% Nr to align the A/C with the landing area or come down out of trim (100-105% Nr)hoping that it will align as you raise the collective in the PULL.

Next time on the sim I'll ask to play with a few of these.

Thanx again.
