How it impacts it is...you can't ! Under Sport Pilot rules, you are
not allowed to have an in-flight adjustable prop. They want to keep
the operation of any plane flyable by a SP simple, i.e. non-complex
(I think that is the term). It's been a while since I looked at the
exact wording for Sport Pilot, but that comes pretty close. The prop
on any plane being flown by a Sport Pilot can only be fixed-pitch, or
have one that is ground-adjustable only.
