Accumulator

The accumulator is for unfeathering a prop. It is a pressurized vessel that has air and oil. In the event you need to Unfeather the engine (training hopefully) it will quickly return the blades to their normal operating position.

It should not affect sync. Downside is it needs maintenance and it is a fair amount of weight. Check your equipment list and it should tell you. It was an option. There may be a limit set for pressure testing of the accumulator tank.

GMAS can probably add more to this.
