Nice vid, it would have been awesome if you showed the "free" movement of the prop piston during constants speed operation. Followed by the piston coming in contact with the pitch setting nuts and now the movement of the piston/feedback ring. My copilots have such a hard time understanding that simple concept.
@@MrSkidkicker To connect it all together, you could go to the beta cam side. I disconnected the beta cable from the cam, made a paper "angle" gauge marking the important angles, prime, flight idle, zero thrust neg 15. Now you can move the PL rod and show the relationship between PL position and cam movement (the beta cable hole). I made two vids like that, first one of only beta cam, then i added the FCU cam showing null range and all. It really is hard to find a vid with the entire "story". I don't have access to cutaways so I am searching here. In all my sim trips, no one explains this, so most pilots have some ideas, but are confused. Thx once again.
Im studying LMA license right now and this helps a lot, thanks
Perfect!
Excellent

Thanks, and I agree with you, I should have added that. I might have to make another video with a helper to move all of the components together.

Why we should never go on reverse when not running
