varying pitch propellers which cannot be controlled in flight, (a) During take-off and initial climb at best rate-of-climb speed, the propeller, in the case of fixed pitch or ground adjustable types, shall restrain the engine to a speed not exceeding its maximum permissible take-off speed and, in the case of automatic variable-pitch types, shall limit the maximum governed engine revolutions per minute to a speed not exceeding the maximum permissible take-off speed. In demonstrating compliance with this provision the engine shall be operated at full throttle or the throttle setting corresponding to the maximum permissible takeoff manifold pressure. (b) During a closed throttle glide at the placard, "never-exceed speed" (see § 3.739), the propeller shall not cause the engine to rotate at a speed in excess of 110 percent of its maximum allowable continuous speed.
