As my piston twin instructor put it - the Falcon has three engines - because it can't fly with two ..

This aircraft is not in a FAR category where ETOPS is an issue.

It is a beautifully designed aircraft - DASSAULT should be making commercial jet liners rather than Le brand- X.

The PRATT comment is typical from a company that has been resting on their laurels - recall these were the same guys who said GE should stick to lightbulbs - Pratt will have to exit this business if they dont quit making "buggy whips"
