"the pilot first radioed, the plane was flying at 4,000 feet. At 4.4 miles out it had fallen to 2,400 feet and crashed shortly after"

Does anyone know...

Does the Propjet have the ability to go to course pitch in the case of an engine failure or loss of oil pressure?
What would the sink rate be at best glide speed with the Prop at fine pitch and course pitch?

So sad when one of us is lost, my heart goes out to his family and friends.
