Overview
This course is designed for pilots learning to fly aircraft fitted with a Constant Speed Propeller (as opposed to fixed pitch). Whilst the change from fixed pitch to variable pitch propellers can be made fairly easily, not a lot of emphasis is placed on student’s theoretical knowledge of this more advanced system. Our course is designed to give trainees that knowledge and allow them to commence their MPPC training with greater confidence.
