What exactly is the advantage of either one? Is either one more advantageous? The NTS seems like quite an elaborate system.
It certainly is complex. Trying to figure this engine out is making my head hurt.NTS is more complex and less effective. That's the short version. The long version is it has to be because they put the engine in facing the correct direction, unlike Brand P.
The Garretts are certainly elaborate engines. I am enjoying learning about them. Luckily a mechanic its teaching our aircraft systems class. Very cool stuff. I am finally getting the hang of prop governor mode versus beta mode.Oddly enough though, I enjoyed learning about the Garret more than the Prats because it was more complex and intricate. I do admit though, I had the most difficulty learning the prop control system and the NTS system mainly because of how different it was (and how sorta un-intuitive it seemed as well). Beta Mode vs Normal Mode, the hydraulic reset piston, and the NTS lockout valve... man, what an.... interesting design lol. What helped me out a lot was sneaking a peak at the maintenance dept's training manual (along with talking to the actual mechanic). The diagrams were more detailed as well as the descriptions. If you have one available to you, I highly suggest it, if you are so inclined.
I haven't seen the maintenance manuals, but a mechanic its teaching the class which helps.Yeah maintenance manuals are great. I don't know why they omit all that detail out of the pilot manuals. It would really help the learning process.
Very true! The company wants us to know a bit more about the systems because of where we operate. If they have to fly a mechanic out to the middle of nowhere, it is nice to give the mechanics as much info as we can to avoid multiple trips to get parts.You don't get maintenance manuals because 99% of that stuff is useless knowledge. It works or it doesn't. It feathers or it doesn't. Why is irrelevant. If I have no control over it or it doesn't help me operate the system or try to get it working properly if it isn't, then I don't need to know about it.
Not to be mean, but that is the dumbest thing I have heard. You should be very familiar with how your craft operates. You never know when you need the correlative ability to diagnose problems which could only be known when you dive into the manuals and learn more about the systems and how they operate together. Why stop at the bare minimum.You don't get maintenance manuals because 99% of that stuff is useless knowledge. It works or it doesn't. It feathers or it doesn't. Why is irrelevant.

I agree. But I am having a hard time going really in depth at the beginning. It is overwhelming, so I wish to learn more overtime.Not to be mean, but that is the dumbest thing I have heard.

No, but the 135 side will quiz you on it.The company didn't hire you to diagnose and fix planes, that's the maintenance department. They don't pay you for it either.
