I have had 3 engine failures
One pilot enduced just after I had got my PPL force landed into field SEP. perfect touchdown in field PAX panicked and crawled onto wing with me holding his jumper.
Plane crossed field with no one at controls. By time I got back to controls after letting him go and took out hedge. Cut off tree stump in hedge demolished wing.
One Seneca 4 3 rocker shafts sheared just after takeoff discovered incorrect torque at manufacture 30% PWR available till 800 feet then shut down as vibration impossible
One Seneca five /spurious rough engine with engine cuts then complete failure.
Nearly new aircraft Piper literally replaced everything in the fuel system to eliminate the problem.
Engine completely stopped in IMC just out of Weston.so 2 out of 3 not pilot enduced
