I think there is a reason PW refers to the spools of a PT6 by letters rather than numbers guys...
It's just good practice to strap the prop on any turbine. It's as simple as that. Just as you lock the flying controls.
I agree, but I'm not after a lesson on airmanship and recommend practice. Out of pure curiosity I want to know why a PT6 prop should not be allowed to spin with hot oil recently distributed through its bearings and gearbox whilst fans are allowed to spin willynilly during turnarounds?
Or is it purely an OWT of sorts taught to pilots so that they dont run off and forget to strap it after a days work?
you'll get a wider, more informed audience if you post in tech log
Good option, I'll let this brew a bit longer.
