On what instruments are you always seeing a complete engine faillure?
Although one is not supposed to primarily use the engine instruments to gauge a complete failure they will show different from the live engine; say prior to the failure it was running at 2400rpm.....it won't be any more. The oil pressure will probably have dropped as well and the fuel flow. I agree though sternone....one may not always see those instruments do that.

You do seem to be rather overstating the "twins are dangerous case"....like Pace said mistakes can be made but at the end of the day if one follows the procedures....you know dead leg, dead engine etc you are unlikely to go wrong. Just curious sternone did you actually do the MEP rating?

Ah ha....I see Guppy has arrived....
