King Air E90 Propeller

The document discusses propeller governor systems and constant speed principles. It explains that propeller blade angles are adjusted to maintain RPM, with higher blade angles at lower RPMs and lower blade angles at higher RPMs. The prop governor senses actual RPM and adjusts blade angle as needed to maintain a constant preset RPM. If RPM exceeds the preset level, blade angle increases to reduce RPM, and if RPM falls below the preset level, blade angle decreases to increase RPM.
