• And shaft speed and including command delay function.

2. Load control

• Adjusting the propeller pitch continuously so that a predetermined engine load is maintained.

3. Load sharing control

• To achieve the desired distribution of the power between 2 engines.

4. Manipulation demand system

• For a clear and safe change-over sequence of the control responsibility between bridge and
