PROP GND SOL caution light

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I've this yellow caution light "PROP GND SOL" on the warning and caution panel. (King Air 350i). What that means and how turn it off. Thank you very and best regards.

This is how the system works,

Flight idle low pitch stop – is a mechanically activated hydraulic stop. Set on ground as power climbs above 68-70% N1 and L/R PROP PITCH extinguishes

Ground idle low pitch stop – electrically actuated solenoid set at 10 degrees below the flight idle pitch stop. The right squat switch depowers the stop at lift off'

If in flight the solenoid receives power for more than 10 seconds PROP GND SOL illuminates – pulling the PROP GOV TEST circuit breaker depowers the solenoid – the light is inhibited on the ground by the left squat switch

L/R PROP PITCH – indicates the prop is more than 8 degrees below the flight idle pitch stop.

 You cant pull circuit breakers in this aircraft,so we will have to wait from input from Milviz.

They have a long way to go on this development. The autopilot functions are pretty abrupt,and lagging. And the prop control's do not operate correctly.

Looks damn good to be Alpha. I still kick myself I didn't pre-purchase to be able to mess around and test with it to this day.

Thanks for the feedback. I have the same thing...Where is the "left squat switch?"

Hi,

When is that happening? In flight, after retarding power levers to idle? 

Solenoid is powered by Right Generator bus and is active (annunciator light inhibited) on the ground, through the Right Main Landing Gear squat, or in flight if retarding power levers below flight idle (Beta and Reverse).

Hi,

Current Autopilot is transient, another version will come later on.

Props should operate as expected. What are the reasons you have to say that?

This feedback is for a completely different version.  Not at ALL the same.  In other words, not valid.

If it's still actually happening, please show us ON the support forums... remembering, of course, that we are NOT, at present, supporting this product.
