About 850hrs microlight, one messy failure (EFATO to hedge), one failure that put me in a field with nothing but inconvenience. 6 engine failures test flying - all restarted in the air. All bar one of the failures with Jabiru engines - which probably account for about a 6th of my microlight time.

About 950hrs SEP, one partial leading to a forced landing on a runway, one total leading to a field landing, one stoppage during aerobatics, restarted in the air.

About 200hrs military and civil flight test observer, no failures, one very alarming compressor stall in a Jaguar.

I am an obsessive practicer for engine failures - total and partial!
