Hi!

I was told by my mechanic to only pull the prop handle until I could
audibly
hear a slight pitch change to establish that it was working.

However, the aircraft manual says it should be cycled completely, and on a
cold engine three times to make sure oil is applied to the governor, or
the
pitch mechanism.

Can someone elaborate on this?

What is recommended?

Thanks,

Frode

POH rules of course, but aside from that, I always liked to exercise a prop
through several cycles, especially when cold, just to get everything nice
and warm and fluid up there.
