On the simulated feathering.

The purpose setting the power to the level recommended in the book when simulating feathering is to cause an operating engine to have the same amount of drag as a feathered engine. The power setting listed provides just enough thrust so that the engine is not dragging from windmilling, and also not providing any thrust - just like a feathered engine.

Hope that helps.

Kevin
