Which statement about the propeller moves is true?

Which statement about the propeller moves is true?

• A. The propeller reverse is called when 1-1 is at OGE
• B. Propeller reverse spins clockwise
• C. The propeller move is not used in this drill
• D. The center of the propeller leads out in all cases

Answer: (A)

The situation tests how drill cues map to a specific propeller action. When the cue places the aircraft in Out of Ground Effect, the designated response is to apply propeller reverse. This timing keeps control predictable as you transition to the next phase, since being OGE changes the thrust and drag balance compared to being in ground effect. The other statements don’t fit the drill’s rules: the direction of reverse thrust isn’t defined as always clockwise, and the move is indeed used in this drill, not avoided; the idea that the propeller’s center leads out in all cases is not a universal rule for this maneuver.
