🔍 Key Concepts

• Study how CPP (controllable‑pitch propeller) hub pistons move oil to change blade pitch (ahead vs astern). • Note which side of the servomotor piston is called the forward chamber in this drawing, and which direction of pitch that chamber controls. • Understand the purpose of a purge / relief valve in a hydraulic cylinder when the piston reaches a mechanical travel limit.

💭 Think About

• Looking at GS-0172, when the hub piston moves to command more pitch in one direction, which chamber is getting pressurized oil? Is that the forward chamber? • If the piston keeps trying to move after it hits its mechanical pitch stop, what happens to the oil trapped in that chamber unless there is a relief or purge valve? • Which of the listed choices actually involves the piston being forced against a travel limit in the direction controlled by the forward chamber, rather than just normal load or transient surge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify from the sketch which direction of pitch (ahead or astern) is associated with pressure in the forward servomotor chamber. • Confirm that a hub purge valve operates when the piston hits or tries to go past a mechanical pitch stop, not during ordinary thrust loading. • Eliminate any answers that do not clearly involve over‑stroking the piston in the direction controlled by the forward chamber.
