I'd take an engine issue any day over electrical ones

On a twin? Are you crazy?
I spend more time in the Sim on 1 engine than 2. It flies well, we are trained for it, and it is pretty "simple" - it either works or it does not. Prob % of a second failure is about nil.

Elec problems are weird, not really trainable since the "known" failure modes are designed out / mitigated, and in many contexts lead to smoke / fire / death.

Think I'll take the EO thanks
