Extremely reliable,with my previous previous employer, we operated about 30 Alts and equal no of Lamas since 1971, only one engine failure, that too due to water contaminated fuel.
Above 28000 rpm and fuel flow lever full fwd, a micro switch disables engine selector switch
I consider this a vital info as the engine selector switch is right there in the middle of the panel and could be moved fairly easily by accident.
Thanks for your time guys!
