thing is....

I have never heard of a turbine turbo prop engine failure that is anything like what you get in the sim.

I have had first hand storys from pilots not just reading the reports.

They have had rear compressor failures metal coming out the back EGT's through the roof.

They have had the spline couples go between the prop and gear box.

They have had the compressor suck a bird and start surging.

They have FEDEC's go nuts.

Engines that start cycling between 0 and 100% torque.

prop governors not governing.


But never a bang at V1/Vr and then the engine winds down all very well behaved.
