Aircraft Accessories of Oklahoma handles Aircraft Propeller Governors from the following manufacturers:
A propeller governor is a variable speed and variable control oil pump that adjusts the angle of aircraft propeller blades. As the angles of the propeller blades are adjusted, the engine RPM increases or decreases based on the air resistance against the blades. The airplane prop governor works by changing the engine oil pressure, which pushes against the blades, adjusting their angle. There are two types of aircraft governors: those that increase blade angles and those that decrease them.
Solenoids
The prop governor solenoid checks the operation of the overspeed while the aircraft is on the ground. Feathering solenoids automatically feather the prop. Lock Pitch solenoids lock the pitch of the prop.
Accumulators
An unfeathering accumulator is a safety device that unfeathers the prop if your engine stalls. This unfeathering allows the pilot to restart the engine.
Aircraft Feathering Pumps
Some aircraft are equipped with a basic feathering system in which a feathering pump is used to adjust the propeller angle. The pilot can manually control the feathering pump by either pressing a button, moving the control lever, or pulling the engine emergency shutdown handle, depending on the type of aircraft.
