Agree. What a Gordian Knot of a topic.

Is there a pusher in a 72?
Yup.
I don’t know if it’s still the case, but a difference between the 42 and 72 was that with any ice protection on the aoa limits for shaker/pusher activation were lowered in the 72 (because ice) but not the 42.
DAYUM…
"On Feb 6th 2023 Nepal's AIC reported that both flight data and cockpit voice recorders were successfully read out in Singapore. According to first analysis of the flight data recorders both propellers of the aircraft went into the feather position. The reason for the feathering of both propellers is still being determined, human factors as well as technical factors are still under investigation."
Mais… Pourquoi?DAYUM…
Another ATR down, from feathering the prop (this case both of them, and not just the wrong one, like in Taiwan).Mais… Pourquoi?
I didn't tell anyone really with all the family stuff I was going through, until some friends noticed the authentic Eames chair in my living room!
The Q, the autofeather is armed only on takeoff. We had a CQ scenario years ago with an engine failure inside 1000ft, Flaps 35. You had to have a sharp PM that could do the immediate action card items to feather the bad side. It was a challenge/response for pulling back the power lever and the condition lever.I'm only an 11 hour multi rated pilot. But at least in a Seneca, I think its hard to accidently feather a prop. You have to intentionally do it, or not being paying attention. I know/hear that turbo props have auto feather. Is it easy to accidently feather a prop on a turboprop?
That would be my only guess (outside of it being an Air Berlin type incident). I’ll look back in my Q systems manual, but I’m almost 100% that if you feather them in flight, the plane will give it to you.Could it be possible that someone accidentally feathered instead of going full forward for landing?
This was a 72-500 so the condition levers had an auto notch and is subsequently controlled by a knob on the control panel, so they shouldn’t have been touched during flight.*Could it be possible that someone accidentally feathered instead of going full forward for landing? I can’t imagine two separate autofeather systems failing to the feather position at the same time.

Oof. A demo with pax on board?Some rumors circulating : it may have been an instructional flight, the FO was going to be upgraded. This may be a case of demo going bad. I guess will know soon
