Question on CSP when engine quits
Does the windmilling effect at best glide speed during engine failure with a CSP (on a single engine airplane) provide enough RPM (with throttle full open) to create the oil pressure needed by the governor to move the prop to full course? Anyone actually been in this situation and were the results of shifting to course noticeable in enhancing the glide?
Edit to add: And if so, does this apply from both the engine failing in the cruise configuration with the RPM provided by windmilling being enough to maintain the course pitch and also in takeoff allowing to move from fine to course?
