>Here you go wrong. Engine instruments like fuel flow/rpm and map will not give you always an indication of an engine faillure.

And ESPECIALLY NOT the inclinometerl.

You see, you just gave me another reason not to fly with you.<

Dont display your complete ignorance. I am seriously starting to doubt your ability to be voicing a believable opinion here at all.

A complete engine failure will show on your Engine instruments. A loss of power either constant or sporadic will show through unequal thrust.
You need to run through the checks specified in your training (if you have had any?) and positively identify the problem engine before deciding to shut it down or not.

How would you identify an engine problem as I would be interested to hear from such an experienced pilot

>Service Ceiling Two Engines (100 fpm) *25,000+ ft / 7,620+ m
Single Engine (50 fpm) 16,500 ft / 5,029 m
*25,000 ft. is max. approved altitu<

Above are the figures for the Seneca V twin Note the SE quoted as 16500 (50 FPM)
