Instigate regular monitoring and logging of the critical operating oil pressures and flows of the controllable pitch propeller system under repeatable standardised operating conditions. Ensure that data collected is understood by the engineers and is sufficient to give warning of a possible failure in the unit. The maintenance system of the vessel should include the action to be taken if the values obtained deviate from those specified by the manufacturer.
