Study of Reciprocating Engine Failures
In my experience, that 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 number the FAA
provides is right on. *It squares with my experience and the
experience of my friends.
My primary flight instructor: 4 engine failures in 4500 hours flying.
Dead stick each time. Twice in pattern. Once off airport landing, once
got lucky and managed to glide to a nearby airport.
