@
NigelOnDraft Thanks - I think that's the interesting point.
I've only ever flown SE aircraft and as I'm sure you know you're always thinking then what's beneath you both for your own safety as everyone else's (and Rule 5)!
I suppose the point is that airlines discount to zero the chance of a total loss of power and so for them what's on the ground is somewhat irrelevant. And as you say won't even appear on IFR charts.
So... to you and the airline pilots on this thread - if you had secured one engine and the other was suspect, what would you have done? Changed your plan and diverted elsewhere or returned over the 25 mile urban area to your original alternate?
