Variable Pitch Propeller (VP Prop) Training

In order to fly an aircraft with a variable pitch propeller, the CAA require that pilots undergo "Differences Training".

This training can be done at Lyneham on the aircraft with variable pitch propellers.

The traning involved to fly a variable pitch propeller aircraft starts with the pilot. The pilot must read about how a variable pitch propeller works generically and then specifically in the Pilots' Notes for the aircraft in question.

Non-aircraft specific Constant Speed Propeller notes.

Slingsby Firefly T67M-Mk2 Pilots notes.

A briefing will be completed and a flight(s), normally one, operated while ensuring all aspects required are covered.

The aspects required are shown on the Differences Training Form for VP Prop.
