A blade pitch control assembly includes a pitch control actuator having a coarse actuator chamber having a coarse chamber area and a fine actuator chamber having a fine chamber area. The coarse chamber area is biased to a feather position. The assembly also includes a primary pitch control valve configured to control the flow of pressurised fluid to the coarse actuator chamber and the fine actuator chamber, respectively via a coarse fluid line and a fine fluid line. The assembly further includes a hydraulic protection system located between the actuator and the primary pitch control valve, configured to bypass the primary pitch actuator in response to a trigger. The hydraulic protection system has a hydraulic protection system valve located between the fluid lines and when activated fluidly connects the fluid lines to balance fluid pressure between the coarse chamber and the fine chamber.
