I would refuse to fully feather / shut down a piston engine aircraft in flight, just to show that it can be done.

My refusal is based on common sense.

You cannot force me to create an emergency that does not exist at the time.

By the way, on this subject how many trainers conduct full feather shut downs on piston engine airplanes during cold weather especially in winter?
