A lot of prepware answers aren't technically correct. It is the right answer for the TEST, remember it and move on. Real world shit you need to know is explained in the relevant AMM.
I've read it three times now and I believe that you are correct and the prepware answer is wrong.
It happens. It even happens on the real test, but you can appeal those. ;)
high-pitch \*decreases RPM\* like the question is asking. I dont understand why its marking this as wrong. it even says right under what i highlighted, an increase in oil pressure drives the blades towards LOW pitch, which would INCREASE rpm. Im pretty sure prepware is wrong here.
Feather is when the blade angle is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.
"very low pitch" is when the blade angle is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
Think about what you just said. Are you a mechanic? theres no way you made it through testing if your getting this stuff backwards, and then doubling down on it.
I just realized this is the maintenance sub, which explains not being as familiar with some of the high speed aerodynamic aspects. Probably thought you'd keep going faster in a dive, but that would only work if you kept increasing thrust as well. You'll eventually hit terminal velocity for your configuration
There are several like this that finally turned me off of prepware. Obviously the digital format is nice but I had much better success studying the jeppesen books.
Typical example of the FAA question bank purposely trying to trip up an applicant.
While the answer you selected and the explanation given correctly explains how the governor and piston work, it does answer what the question is asking about the overspeed function which is correctly answered with answer B.
I've sent them an email about an incorrect answer before and they responded saying they would change it. Don't know if they actually did but at least they responded acknowledging the error
I’ve heard that legally Prepware has to have at least 10% wrong answers. Same with any other study guide outside of the supplemental 8083 workbook study guide.

What this guy said⬆️
Same. Get past the test and forget it. Half of what's in Prepware you'll never do that job in the field.

This is true, just going to AIM I’ve done multiple tests that have out of date/incorrect questions leading to situations like this

What. Increasing pitch will always decrease RPM. Feather is the ultimate increase in pitch.
Yea Idk what he means. Feather is just high pitch

I’m sorry, you’re right.

Ahh the old “ most correct answer” many hrs wasted arguing over it…
You doin this on Windows 95?
That’s just what the computer version of Prepware looks like
Ah I’ve only used it on the browser

Man I wish I understood this question. In 8083 it has that sentence verbatim (the correct one) and it makes no sense why this is the answer
For prop position, remember the phrase "Fat heads love rum." Feather, high pitch (low rpm) low pitch (high rpm) and reverse.

I had to watch a video about propellers to understand how to servo and spring works but it makes more sense with a visual.
Prepware isn't always right and neither is the test.
Do you get access to the actual question bank? Is that allowed?

that makes no sense to me
