You raise a good point Sir Wally, however you fly your passengers, you fly your freight......thus you fly your engine from A to B, or A to A.

I am posting this from the here-after!
Enjoyed the course and learnt heaps. It was a great pleasure meeting Walter and John!
Unfortunately, yesterday, on a night flight over mountains in IMC, I misread my JPI 700, suffered a catastrophic engine failure and crashed - killing all on board!
What I thought to be a faulty probe turned out to be a pre-ignition event! What the @#$%

I told everyone at the seminar my pprune identity is “justapplhere”. The bloke next to me said he is “flyingfiend”.
But maybe I wasn’t there… maybe the bloke next to me was making it up….
Or maybe speculating on who’s behind each pprune identity is a completely pointless exercise…

I'm beginning to wonder whether the seminar was advertised anywhere other than on P-prune given the number of pruners there. Not that I knew till I returned home and read this thread. Probably the best seminar I've ever been to. Congratulations to all concerned with the presentations and the organizing. To top it off I was one of the lucky guessers that didn't crash and burn over Mt Kosciuszko thus proving luck plays a prominent role in aviation and in surviving till pensioner age- a matter not discussed at the seminar.

I've just read the first few chapters of John Deakin's book "Full Throttle" which has made necessary an addendum to my last post. Whilst not discussed at the seminar "luck" is there in the book in spades. All I can say about some of his early escapades is "Holy S#*t" I look forward to reading the rest of the book.
