IDLE DOWN

Lowers the engine idling speed.(airplane only)

The Idle Down function lowers the engine to

its idle position. Like Throttle Cut, this is usually

accomplished by flipping a switch with the throttle

stick at idle. The action is not functional at high

throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’

s location and direction must be chosen, as it

defaults to NULL.
