Turbine DONT's

A PC-6 can go into beta in flight per the POH, or so I'm told (I'm not a PC-6 driver).

In the Dash-8-200 if the prop goes into the ground fine range there may not be enough pressure to force the prop back into the flight range, aka you're SOL/dead.

Just wait till you find a misrigged plane. I was landing once and bought the levers back to idle only for the plane to just stop flying and slam in.

That used to happen regularly on the old 1900 B/C models I flew back in the day. Bring the power back to idle in the flare, and suddenly one prop decides to go into ground fine. Makes for an interesting landing.

That's what happens when you have guys who buy aircraft parts at NAPA rigging PT6s...

Whatever you do, no matter the conditions - don't run Lean of Peak. Also, don't forget to check the mags before every take-off.

Sitting in class when I read this. I lol'ed way too hard. Was asked to explain what was so funny. Tried. Failed. Epic. FTW!

Correction: I think it was Discount Auto Parts. NAPA was too expensive.

My favorite so far has been an uncommanded reverse on rollout.

I was going to warn against misrigging and warn out ground fine/beta detents.

Dont start to taxi until the line guy confirms the GPU is detached.... says the guy who watched a Lear drag a GPU across the ramp during his line-guy days.

Im hoping that "drifting" will be added to the list.

If you've hit the stoppers with the power levers, something has probably gone awry.

That very much depends on your airplane and even then the engine in that airplane. I hit the forward travel limits all the time in the DA's we fly in without touching any limitation.

I hit the stops every time I fly, regardless of the airframe.

The aft stops.

Ya, those to.

Introducing fuel at/near max motoring N2 is policy where I work, due to the reasons you've mentioned. Cooler starts.

Thats the way it is with us too, unless you are doing a battery start, then you introduce fuel before you lose momentum on the acceleration.

Happens everyday to me on takeoff during summertime in two different airplanes with PT-6's. In the winter I usually hit the stop around 10,000 feet. Tired motor, rigging, etc.
