Power Levers/ Condition Levers
The power levers control the thrust output of the engines and are
marked into 4 sections:
• FULL REVERSE: provide maximum reverse thrust. Selection of
reversed thrust in flight is prevented by a switch linked to the
gear. Only when the gear is compressed can reverse be
selected.
• GROUND START: give minimal torque at idle RPM because the
propeller will be set flat pitch position.
• FLIGHT IDLE: sets the engine and propeller to inflight minimum
fuel flow and torque.
• MILITARY: provides maximum torque.
The condition levers control the fuel flow to the engines and are
marked in 4 sections:
• FEATHER AND FUEL SHUT-OFF (normally referred to as FEATH-
ER): will feather the propellers and cut the fuel to the engine.
• FUEL SHUT-OFF: fuel is shut off but the propeller control
systems stay pressurized and propellers will NOT feather.
• NORMAL FLIGHT: open fuel flow to the engines and sets
minimal engine RPM (on ground 60%, inflight 70%).
• T.O./LAND: open fuel flow to the engine and sets minimal
engine RPM (on ground 94%, inflight 96%). These higher
settings allow the rapid response to commands given via the
power levers.
CAUTION: if the condition lever is set to Normal Flight with the engine
not running fuel WILL be injected into the combustion chambers. This
can result in an engine fire when the engine is hot!
Propeller control is automated and controlled as a function of the
power levers and condition levers.
