DHC8 Autofeather
I've been browsing through the DHC8-200/300 technical information provided by Smartcockpit to see if I could learn something new.
Reading about the autofeather system i came across this.
After sending an uptrim signal to the non affected engine, the non affected bleed air system is shut down.
During my DHC8 (100 and 300) TR I never heard about this.
Anybody who have some background info on this? I assume that the bleed air is shut down only as long as autofeater is armed, and that it becomes available again when we deselect autofeather (and by doing so also cancel the uprtrim singal) during the engine failure shutdown checklist.
Atleast when doing engine failures in the sim, bleed air is available when engine is secured and cheklist complete.
