| Jan 6, 2019 at 20:58 | comment | added | ghellquist | @Raffzahn: agreed. With a Fadec there can be a single power level control for both engine and propeller. Diamond Aircraft and Piper are examples for new aircraft, I believe used with A1-burning diesels. But the majority of the fleet is still "old-style" with three controls. I am not in the loop to know how that effects training and requirements. | |

A "variable pitch" is a constant speed without a governor. | |
