Folks,
We are valiantly maintaining our record of killing pilots on training, can anybody remember the last fatality from a real engine failure on takeoff in a FAR 23 twin ( as well as the recent Kingair -- which may not have been an actual engine failure)

So much for the CASA (and too many industry types) hairy chested (sorry, ladies, but at least one I know can consider herself to have an honorary hairy chest) approach to rational risk management ---- demanding performance for which aircraft are not certified.

And having certified (FAR 23 commuter amendment or FAR 25) is no guarantee (Tamworth, Darwin) with the slightest misjudgement.

Tootle pip!!
