GearUp,
and you're suggesting I'd find what?

Being a bit short on Jetstreams starting up in my immediate surroundings (very much the wrong kind of operator now, did help'em get started on a daily basis on the ramp once upon a time though), here's a snippet found on a BAe Jetstream from the NTSB:

"[...]equipped with two Dowty model R333/4-82-F/12 single-
acting, full-feathering, constant speed, 4-blade propellers, which rotate counter-clockwise as
seen from the cockpit."

Does not sound very counter-rotating to me. Thinking of another version? Or only about the CCW part? Is there a CW version of the same engine?

Still unable to find much info on if there is a way of coping with it, apart from the hassle of having entire mirrored engines available. Not that I have found time to do any in-depth research of the issue.

Cheers,
Fred
