Aircraft Propellers & Controls

Written for both pilots and mechanics, this text shows the details of most common constant-speed propeller units. Props used in Cessna and Piper twins, Beechcraft King Air, Twin Otter, Douglas DC-series, and Rockwell twins are covered, as well as all the high-performance singles. This text leans more to mechanical detail than to operational detail, and the matching engines are not included (they are in the separate texts on Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines and Aircraft Reciprocating Engines).

Canadian AME candidates for a Propeller Endorsement should use this text PLUS the Canadian Aviation Regulations Part V Subpart 35 (Aircraft Propellers) to prepare for the Transport Canada knowledge exams.
