Under ETOPS there can be an engine failure and the aircraft can keep flying as a single engine aircraft for many hours to landing
When looked at along side the limitations placed upon the operation of single engine aircraft in fare paying pax operations it does seem a bit of an anomaly.
One day it will probably happen because the ETOPS equation is based on probability
It probably will, and I wonder what recommendations the report would make. Have extremely vague memory of an uncontained failure during take off in an under wing twin engine type and it took out the other. Maybe just an old brain misremembering.
