Constant Speed Propeller Tutorial using the A2A Cessna 182 | FSX | P3D | X-Plane

Hi folks and welcome to this video where I take a look at the strange blue control we all see lurking in the cockpit of a complex piston engined aircraft.

The video has a discussion over how the darned things work at 2:10 in the video and then the flight demonstration starts at 16:00.

Although aimed primarily at the flight simulator community, I hope that in part it also bridges the gap between simulation and reality. Constant speed propellers can be a difficult subject to understand in the first instance, and the settings vary widely between aircraft, but I hope that this video helps with the basics.

The last time I flew an aircraft with a constant speed prop, which didn't have FADEC was some 10 years ago and even then I only got a couple of hours before moving to a Diamond Da-40 with all of it's electrowizardry. As such, if any of you folks out there want to add experience, then please feel free.

Lastly, if you enjoy the video, please feel free to like, share or subscribe.
