CSU Endorsement
A constant speed propeller is a type of propeller that can change its blade pitch to take better advantage of the power supplied by an engine in much the same way that a transmission in a car takes better advantage of its power source. At Thomas Aviation we have a number of aircraft types that feature CSU’s including:
– Cessna 182
