Intro To Throttle, Propeller & Mixture Controls | MSFS Tutorial

This video is an introduction to how and when to manipulate the throttle quadrant levers. We'll look at the throttle, propeller, and mixture levers, what to do when your plane doesn't have all three levers and a quick note of the differences with turboprop planes.

Topics mentioned: throttle, propeller, mixture, RPM, MP or manifold pressure, lean, EGT or exhaust gas temperature, condition lever.

Excellent video and very useful. I’ve not seen the use of throttle, prop and mixture explained so clearly before.

[Sebastopolmark]

Very well done. It's nice to have a resource that we can come to and refersh our "skills". Thanks! !! !!!

Good video. I'm backwards, and have flown mostly jets, but now getting into props, specifically the Bonanza (variable prop) and SR22 (constant prop). For the former, I sort of figured out on my own how to adjust all three levers, but this video solidified it. Thanks!

You have a talent for teaching. I'm a few weeks into flight sims and gotten somewhat comfortable with the basic flying mechanics. I'm using the Logitech yoke and throttle quadrant and was wondering what the other levers are for. You managed to explain not just what they do, but what they are for and when they should be used. Good job!

This is very good and comprehensive. The only thing I can think of that I do in addition to this is adjust Throttle & Prop for Cruise Climb (Vcc) after climbing above 1000ft AGL after takeoff provided there are no obstacles like mountains I need to clear. This isn't really that necessary, but reduces trip time and fuel consumption. Vcc speeds/settings will vary by aircraft, and may even be a range of options. It'll be outlined in the plane's POH.

Your videos are all so helpful. Seriously- Thank you. Really enjoyable to watch too!

I just found your channel and I'm loving the content! I usually fly airliners and now I'm doing more GA flying, and your videos are great. The lent is great, to the point but not too short or long. New subscriber here!

thanks. it really helps. keep doing more videos.

[liquidsky]

Thank you very much for the time to make this video.

[skippychurch]

Came back to this video after liking it a while back. My memory is so bad i forgot the details therein, so here I am again. Lol Thanks so much.

[AlasdairMacG]

Very enjoyable and informative - many thanks. Regards, A

Buy yourself a beer for me, great informational video.

[paulphibbs]

If landing at a high alt airport you would keep your mixture appropriate. This was good info thanks.

[barthandelus]

Great video, always wondered this! Makes sense now. Subscibed! :)

[necrophage]

Not to be bothersome, but do you happen to have a link to a list of power settings (especially cruise) for various aircraft in the sim? Possibly a google drive link or something similar?

[trevorbarber]

hi their. just thought id ask, problem with the mix lever, when you push it it doesnt do anything until the lever gets past half way and then you have too stop it by bringing the lever back down too where want it too stop, erm it didnt do that before, before it used too act like push too 3/4s and when it got too 3/4s it would stop, somethins not right but i dont know what it is, ta for listening....awe yeh my flight stick is a gladiator nxt right hand....

[thephoenixcowboy]

can anyone help me?
im using the viking air CL-415 and it requires a "throttle previous detent" setting which i could not find
without it im unable to put the throttle to neutral or however its called
anyone knows where can i find that setting?

[trippeads]

@flight sim school whenever I move my mouse on key pad or just a regular mouse it cuts back my throttle so you know how to fix this problem?

[jlang]

Can’t find anyone covering the hud throttle! A lot of movement doesn’t make sense to me

[karahisarli]

hey, bought a xbox for myself and started to play the sim directly, can I learn if you are using a yoke or a stick, if yes which brand? Just checked but couldnt find a related video about that. Thank you!
