Hi all,
Went for my first ride in a complex aircraft today, (PA28R-201) now working toward a commercial. My only other CS flying has has been getting to practice area and back in a Super Decathlon.
I understand that the CS prop is all about efficency.
So far, it's always been recipies, full RPM & PWR for takeoff, 25 squared for climb, 23 squared for cruise. From a pratical standpoint, if you are adjusting for best efficency is it all in the performance charts or can you tell from the cockpit? What's the warning sign if the RPM is too low?
Thanks,
