And if you are 86% likelihood to have an engine failure in a twin then you are 14% likelihood to avoid an engine failure in a twin in that same time span. So 14% is 2.6 times as likely to have the engine failure as 37%. Is that not correct?

The original comment that I thought you were joking about missed an important point of clarification (i.e. it’s 2.7x more likely…but only based on the data being interpreted here).

As others have pointed out in this thread, there is so much missing from this analysis that it would be foolish to use it as anything other than an interesting lesson in how probability works on a more granular level. It would be fun to review data filtered by performance parameters like displacement. I can’t imagine that the 520 cubic inch, twin turbo charged continental used in the Cirrus, Mooney, etc. has anywhere near the same level of reliability as the venerable 360 cubic inch lycoming…yet both engines are included in that dataset as are many that aren’t even used in twins and vice versa.

I was speaking of the next airframe to be insured for the chute puller Any stories there? Anyone saying how it was a similar premium for the next plane?

your responses looked fine to me. I'm glad you understand what I was trying to say. And I agree with the above as well.

Username Protected wrote: Very well then. Let's use your numbers. In a piston single, one has a 37% chance of avoiding an engine failure in one of 3200 flight hours. In a piston twin, one has a 14% chance of avoiding an engine failure in one of 3200 flight hours. You're 2.6 times as likely to avoid an engine failure in a single vs a twin. So, there's a 14% cumulative chance that both engines will continue to run over the 3200 hour period. What's the cumulative chance that at least one engine will continue to run over the 3200 hour period? I calculate that to be 99.969%. Someone check my math: The probability of at least one engine running is 1-(the probability of both engines failing). Probability of an engine failure in one hour = 1/3200. Probability of two engines both failing is (1/3200) squared. Therefore probability of at least one engine running is 1-(1/3200)^2 = 0.999999902. Cumulatively over 3200 hours the probability of at least one engine running is 0.999999902^3200 = 0.99969, or 99.969%.

While I did not look at all 6 pages of posts, looking at the thread title and the 1st post, it appears to be regarding the new Cirrus. Based on my rather simple deduction above, seems appropriate to share this. A friend sent me the attached picture from the Barrett Jackson auction event in Scottsdale. Quite a contrast to the marketing efforts we see or rather don't see for our beloved Beechcrafts. Attachment: IMG_2427.jpeg

Where did this number come from? I find it hard to believe that more than half the engines built fail (in the air) before getting to TBO. Are you talking about in-air catastrophic failures? Is fuel exhaustion included in this number (maybe 25-30% of all "failures")? Do on-the-ground problems count in this? That kind of number could only come from a WAG or a survey since the FAA doesn't really even know how many piston aircraft hours are flown every year (although with ADSB, they could do a much better job of estimating that), and they would have no way of knowing the number of engine failures since many to most aren't reported. It would be interesting to hear from engine overhaulers as to of what percentage of their builds and rebuilds are due to in-air failures.

I would think it's an order of magnitude off, excluding pilot induced failures.

Why exclude pilot induced failures? Still results in a non functioning engine. I doubt there had ever been a pilot that thought they would one day screw up with fuel, levers, buttons etc and end up with a non-functioning engine. I think for pistons it is in the 1 in 3000 to 10,000 range. I tried to track to some extent engine failures in GA through newspaper feeds, the AIN, pilot boards and was usually able to capture 2 or 3 a day, 90% without significant injury and like ?97% without fatality. These were just off airport landings. My plan was to come up with a dataset looking at airplane type, stall speed, fatalities and reason for failure. What killed my ambition was after a year of collecting data, realized the vast majority, even ones that were captured by the NTSB AIN never generated a report. No blood, no significant damage, no report. Frustrating that the NTSB nor FAA has no interest in power loss. But do care if some of my glass panels hiccup.

I don't think you can see that color from inside the airplane, so maybe its a theft deterrent... OTOH, they know infinitely more about marketing airplanes than I do, so maybe it makes sense Username Protected wrote: While I did not look at all 6 pages of posts, looking at the thread title and the 1st post, it appears to be regarding the new Cirrus.
