La mise en drapeau est assurée par le moteur de changement de calage lui-même. Dans le cas des hélices électriques, ce moteur est généralement survolté pendant cette phase afin de diminuer le temps de passage. Les hélices hydrauliques nécessitent un moteur électrique entraînant une pompe (pompe de mise en drapeau) pour suppléer la pompe du régulateur. On dispose d'une réserve dans le fond du réservoir d'huile du moteur. 1, record 2, French, - pompe%20de%20mise%20en%20drapeau
