Some older turboprops that don't have beta mode have something called ground fine pitch. All ground operations are carried out in this position. After landing, when the weight of the aircraft has settled onto the wheels, you can select the propeller flight fine pitch locks to be hydraulically removed, thus allowing the prop blade angle to decrease to zero degrees.
