Very true. Any true engine out landings have been in helicopters so landing area was a non issue. Only engine failure in fixed wing was on my multi-engine checkride. That damn Baron was a brute to fly with left engine out but at least the one fan still going allowed landing at the airport not the Everglades. Doug
A spring loaded wide open failure would at least get you to an airport where you could "dead stick" the landing by killing the ignition. Much better then trying to find a landing spot in a pine forest or a corn field !! Larry Flesner -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
