There have been power failures that were enough to cause a loss of control but not quite enough to trigger the NTS system. Those pilot spent precious time following a checklist while assuming NTS would do it’s thing. That checklist has been rewritten.

Username Protected wrote: I only had less than 200 in 16 years on the airplane 32 training courses (assuming every 6 months), that works out to ~6 engine failures per course. Seems light to me, not enough to cover inboard versus outboard, partial failure, on takeoff, in cruise, on glideslope, on runway prior to V1, in combination with other failures, IMC versus VMC, etc. I train every 6 months as well. I need more than 6 to stay sharp, average about 15 per course. I'm an owner pilot flying a turboprop, not an airline god flying a jet. Mike C.
Rule 1. If switch is not shiny, DON’T TOUCH IT!

Jon Carlson is based out of KSQL (San Carlos). The runway is 2,600'. He has a Solitaire. Vince

Yeah. It seems the bidders forgot to look at other mu2s on the market. You could easily snag a better bird for the same or less.
