Still interested in the main topic
Maybe we should start another thread but I think is is relevant to find out peoples experience with engine failures in GA aircraft.
To develop a real picture it would be nice to know:
Total GA hours and over how many years
# Failures or suspect performance to cause a diversion
Reasons if known
Warning signs if any
Status of the plane = rental, owner operated, charter
Outcome and lessons learned?
Personally I've about 1200 hours in 9 years, 80 percent of behind an IO-540 I own with never a peep of trouble. The rest in various rentals/trainers
