Default DA 42 accident

There are other ways to trigger that weak point.
Really? Name one.


I'm guessing here (as I don't know the system), but it seems like a
short circuit in the landing gear could fail the engine's alternator, if
they are interconnected the way it seems from the postings.

it does seem to be a serious oversight that the engines themselves can't supply their own juice.

They do -- with an alternator on each engine.


Well, those alternators seem to be supplying juice to everything, making
them more vulnerable. No?
