In Multi engine aircraft an overspeeding prop should be feathered immediately (except for an overspeed right after takeoff) .
Why? To keep "good" power output whatsoever from the engine with the overspeeding prop on that critical phase? Why the prop should not be feathered if it overspeeds at takeoff, since significant structural damage could occur?
