Engine Failures.............
On a slight tangent here but bare with me........
You say you have had 3 engine failures that have all resulted in a recovery to an airport. I assume that this occured in a single engine aircraft?
Always thought that an engine failure was the situation when the prop stopped turning and left you with no other choice but to put it down in a field......... a engine malfunction which your magneto problem sounds like doesn´t really constitute a "failure"
I may be way off the mark here but it looks like you are trying to glamourise a pretty insignificant event for your own benefit - true/false?
Im sure that 90% of flying instructors have had some form of malfunction of an engine at some point during their work, alternator failures, mags dropping off etc - but probably only 1% have actually had one engine failure let alone 3.........
Anyone gonna shoot me down on this one?
