I recently got my high performance endorsement in a C182-T. During the checkout the CFI tried to explain how the CS prop made it a lot easier to fly a steep turn, because it didn't slow down. So you didn't need to add any power.
It was a mauch easier steep turn to fly, the airplane held altitude much more easily. It was easier than in the Arrow too, but the 182 has 230 HP, while the Arrow 200.
Ive got a few hours in a complex Arrow already, so the CS prop really isn't new, but I really didn't follow her explanation.
Can someone explain how single engine steep turns with a fixed pitch are different from a CS prop, single engine?
Thanks
