Fred,
Just about all of this discussion is regarding FGD statement that any aircraft with a windmilling prop will not climb, something he/she claims we should know instinctively, or words to that effect.
Many have disputed this from their own hands on experience, yet some continue this "windmilling prop / no climb theory".
To be polite, it was a theory that was put to peer review on this thread and has since been denied as true by many.
Most turboprops whilst on the ground with FI selected are off and running
I would not agree with that statement.
So do you have to pull beta to get the aircraft on the ground ?.
Disclaimer: I have never flown a braz, am not referring to the ANB accident, this is a purely academic discussion, as I do not agree with FGD's earlier statement.
Baron Beeza, that is a good link,thanks.
