Hand propping is manually starting an aircraft engine by spinning the prop by hand. You grab the prop near the end and use it's length as leverage to spin the motor until a spark plug fires. Hand propping is fairly dangerous because the prop tip suddenly goes from 0 to 320 feet per second when the engine fires! #shorts #propeller #aviation #airplane #aircraft #pilot #manual #flight #airport #flying #landing #
