That he posted the message speaks for itself. Yes, it implies that engine failures are all too common on general aviation aircraft. How well do you think that level of engine failures would go over in commercial aviation on big jets? Indeed, one of the reasons for the substantial expansion of commercial aviation in the last forty years or so has been the widespread adoption of turbine power plants, which don't constantly fail the way piston powerplants do. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
