Twin Cessna aircraft....generally very reliable IF, and this is a very big IF, maintained properly and flown with a fair degree of accuracy. The 404 is a very heavy weight aircraft with CE421 power which equals, SLOW climb rate even with the CORRECT engine shutdown and feather procedure. If these guys had not been properly trained, then they had no business flying this aircraft. The 404 can be very demanding, if NOT flown properly.
