It might be worth pointing out that a number of years ago, a C404 operated by the Department of Agriculure and Fisheries for Scotland suffered an engine failure while on a low level fishery patrol.

Both the pilots were type and instrument rated. The aircraft's performance was such that they were compelled to ditch. Fortunately with no fatalities.

This aircraft was at high weight and had the added disadvantage of a radome installed on the belly which I assume didn't help the climb rate. Notwithstanding that, I think it says something about the performance of that type of aircraft on one engine.

It is also worth pointing out that 411A and his cronies seem to have regular access to the internet from whichever institution they are in and have the objective of saying black is white in the most offensive way they know how on whatever subject they know nothing about.

If you ignore them they go away
