I use the table below for my CSU. It’s conservative and stays within the limits. Generally I cruise at 5350 WOT above 3500’DA and below that 5350 at the below MAP

Okay guys so here's my question.
What is the difference if you set your CS or variable speed prop to only get 5350 at WOT or over pitching a ground adjustable prop to get 5350 at WOT? Are they not both over pitched? Which has no redeeming qualities?

Hi Roger,
you are correct no difference that I can see. However the graph and story says he was at WOT .....but only a MAP of 25 which seems a little low perhaps his DA was high or he has restrictions on the inlet. 25 MAP 5350 rpm is only about 70% power and should be fine. However 5350 rpm 29 MAP would not be a good place to cruise both for torque reasons and because you will be very high fuel burn and therefore would be "over proped" but not over proped if MAP is 25. I have found that with a CS prop the settings should be based on MAP and RPM and where the throttle is at is less important as DA has a huge influence on throttle position. The CS prop allows you more options
Hi Bill,
i appreciat your knowledge on above threads.
i am also in same problem on 914 F2.my propeller is variable pitch installed.
115% throttle, Rpm goes overshoot 5900 + with AIRBOX 42 INCH/1400 hPa approx, all other parameter Okky.
How i identify the problem?
variable pitch propeller or Engie 914F2 /F3/F4 configuration.
