Hi, what exactly is the purpose of the autofeather on the King Air? All I can see is that it is supposed to be on when the gear is down. I haven't seen any difference if used or not. The switch is hidden by the yoke in the vc so instead of switching to 2d everytime I just quit using and just live with the warning light.
Thanks in advance for your response,

...pretty clear explanation, but why don't you just turn on the autofeather all the time? If it is switched on while taxiing, climbing and descending, why not while cruising?

Thanks, very good discussions. Guess google should have been my first choice. I do appreciate the response!
