Default Why does airspeed change when I adjust the prop?

Peter,

I can hardly believe that I am reading this thread, much less responding to
it!


As usual, the questions are worthwhile. It's the answers to the answers. But
my reasoning was that a lot of pilots transitioning to complex airplanes have
these questions.

There will still be a reduction in horsepower, but not nearly as
much.


You're right with all you say, of course. In "real life", while one needs to
know what's going on behind the scenes, it still comes down to setting both
parameters (MP and RPM) to values that are "by the book".
