It's also very hard on the engine to use the flat pitch of the prop as a
speed brake.

>>coarse  pitch.  We must therefore do the same test with flat pitch at
idle.
That will be significantly less efficient.  BTH.  When approaching the
airport you can slow down very easily by starting your GUMP on the 45.
The
prop of flat pitch really slows you down so as soon as practical take
out
the pitch and the plane slows down quite quickly.<<
