Beta Range Same
Check (Below) Response
Move the Power lever aft of the Idle Gate, and verify that:
The Prop RPM increases (No FF Increase) & continues to vary until Reverse Gate. Over
the reverse gate, ensure the prop RPM doesn’t drop to 1050 before Ng increases.

Usage: Use notations like 1/8 – 1/4 - 1/2 –(Knob) and an Arrow for the forward Knob (↑)
Use tape on the pedestal to keep track of pickup points. If the knobs are split, are N1 matched?
 One Time (Final) Verifications
Some of these change during the rig, and ALL should be rechecked on completion.

Check Target Left Right Note

Fuel Topping 1440 RPM P&WC 71-00

Limit Underspeed Fuel
Governor Governing Check
(Matched 1400 ideal)
This check can be used prior to rigging to establish FTG cut in RPM.
Set Power Levers to 1600 RPM
Set prop levers to 1500 RPM (Governing)
Reduce Power Levers to Idle
Slowly enter reverse until further motion aft no longer increases Prop RPM or Ng.
CAUTION: If Prop RPM reaches 1440 or more, STOP! Test Failed. REFER TO P&WC REF ABOVE
Adjust: See AMM
Prop Min RPM 1400-1420 RPM
