You think so Tanker, two inflight shutdowns I've done have resulted in a stopped engine/propellor
Eddie: what type of engines fitted to what aircraft, precisely, stop rotating in flight when the mags are switched off or the fuel runs out? I'm yet to find any aircraft piston engine that can be stopped rotating in flight, other than by switching off the mags or fuel and stalling the aircraft.
I'm also interested in Eddie's answer to this and, just to clarify the rules of engagement, feathering a prop and it no longer rotating in the breeze does NOT count as "a stopped engine/propellor".
