More and more, I read about engines turning fixed pitched props at very high( in my eyes ) rpm's. Is this normal/ok to do this with a fixed pitched?
I have a constant speed on my IO-360-a1b6 and have it limited to 2700rpm.
I came across this Lycoming Mandatory service bulliten that discusses overspeed's, but does not differentiate between fixed and constant speed. It is a interesting and informative read. I had no idea how high some engines are rated for.
