Um, forgive my piston driven ignorance, but just what does auto feather do on a jet (turbo fan?)... maybe it ejects the core????
My reference to auto feather is to point out that most every aspect of pilot required input is rapidly being stamped out. Jets of course do not need to auto feather but almost everything else is becoming automated and at all levels of airline equipment.

A/P
Flight Director
Yaw Dampener
Auto feather
Flight Computer
Fly by Wire
Wind Shear Alert
Terrain Avoidance system
TCAS
HUD

ECT........

Things that are becoming optional:

Alert, competent and capable pilots

Damper is the noun. It is called a Yaw Damper.

Dampen is a verb describing the effect of the Damper.

One of the many things I benifit from by perticipating in these forums is that I always learn something.

Learning is something nobody can ever take away from you. I'll help you out with "benefit" and "participating" too...even though I get the sense you did that on perpus. ;)

I'm enjoying PSA so far. It's a rough QOL to start but it sure beats instructing. Get in ASAP no matter what anyone tells you. You will learn a ton regardless of having 2000 hours TT or 300 hours TT.

I learned far more from ga flying and charter and flight instructing than I have from the airlines.
