Thanks BArry,
At least all these stories of getting caught by the prop will have an effect on my procedures for turning the prop.
Yesterday I was turning the blade without thinking to a potential starting, without brakes and without chokes.
Now I will beware of the prop and turn it like a loaded gun, put the chokes and if I can't put the chokes, at least systematicaly put the air and parking brakes (on my 18T) before turning the prop.
This will be my new procedure
Thanks a lot for that.
Kind regards
Didier

Didier,
That was my main point....the prop doesn't know/care whether you have 200 hours or 20,000 hours. Nor does the ground or anything else. Hopefully we've all be flying a lot this summer, and hopefully we take the time to step back and make sure we are not getting complacent!

Chris,
Glad you survived the prop strike. You are absolutely correct...all
accidents are a sequence of small events the lead up to the big event. The
idea behind safety lectures and articles are to identify those small events
before they become an incident. By your open discussion of your unfortunate
accident you have helped many that may have become complacent in their
pre-flights.
Thanks for your candor.
Doc
