Question: how long with the prop gov maintain the 'trapped' pressure after engine stoppage (pressure which holds the blades in coarse pitch)? And assuming the gov is in good condition. I understand if one inadvertently moves the prop control after engine stoppage, you have shortened the glide distance considerably since the blades will return to flat pitch. I welcome comments!
