Going prop forward after the governor has hit the limit is a good
practice. It makes less noise, and it demonstrates that you are smooth
at the controls.
Now i"m confused. It seems like we agree. I may not have been clear,
or may have missed something, but this is what I meant when I said to
go full forward after throttle reduction.



I was not specifically responding to your comment. It was in response
to the original poster who wanted to bring the prop forward on
downwind prior to power reduction. Whether the prop is brought forward
at downwind, base or final is not important as long as it is done
after power reduction. Earlier the better I suppose. On a VFR traffic
pattern, I bring the prop forward after power reduction just as I am
turning base. On an instrument approach, I would do that after the
power reduction at the final approach fix.
