Gear Off,
"It seems fairly clear that the aeroplane isn't designed for heavy training use. Two engine failures in a week with no prior indications is an abysmal record for any aircraft type. Think they'd be better off leaving recreational aeroplanes where they belong before someone gets killed."
Mate keep ya gear on......if you had thought about this before opening your mouth, you may not have written such rubbish.
These aircraft and engine (albeit older sisters) have been used for training for years, both RAA and GA VH training. So that comment does not cut the mustard. Some, logging several thousands of hours, one I can think of is probably over 7000.
If that kind of failure rate = stop use....nothing would fly. has been the odd week when 2 x B737's have crashed, should we stop flying them. Didn't think so.
Upon reflection I am sure you would agree.
