A system and method for feathering an aircraft propeller are provided. The aircraft propeller is coupled to an actuator for setting a blade pitch of the propeller. The blade pitch is controlled by modulating a supply of hydraulic fluid to the actuator. At least one feather solenoid is provided that comprises a first solenoid coil, a second solenoid coil, and a solenoid valve coupled to the actuator and to the first and the second solenoid coil. At least one controller is configured to selectively energize and de-energize the first and the second solenoid coil. The solenoid valve is configured to be activated when the first solenoid coil and the second solenoid coil are de-energized and to, when activated, modulate the supply of hydraulic fluid to the actuator for adjusting the blade pitch of the propeller towards a feather position.
