Oh Jesus. I’m never flying commercial again.

Thanks to this thread, my husband and I just had a long fireside discussion over coffee, about asymmetric thrust and whatnot ... blah blah blah. He says the joke with GA twins is that the second engine will get you to the scene of the crash. I also learned that Cirrus had to design in the parachute to compensate for their plane's tendency to get into spins. What the what!!!! I’d have redesigned the plane. >:(
No wonder I hate flying. Thanks for not banning me.

Yea, we promote free speech and thought here. No ban hammers required or needed. ;D

I try so hard to be clear. What are you not understanding?

GA twins just require one engine out proficiency.

I pretty much hate any flying where I’m not the pilot and/or own the airplane.

If you are talking about the not liking flying part, she has told us that several times. She has described herself as a "reluctant copilot" before.

I guess I thought it was more along the lines of: I’d rather be in the left seat

Gotta give her credit though. She still supports her pilot husband even though it isn't her thing. Many wives would demand he sell the damn thing.
That's why we so many ads on Trade-a-Plane priced sky high. "Honey, I'm TRYING to sell it".

“Right” engine cowl lip? Hahahahahah!!!! Clever.

Both incorrect.

All kidding aside, can the homeowners tell B or UAL or NTSB finders keepers losers weepers?

Both incorrect.
My husband says you are wrong. Pistols at 50 paces, tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., at the Old North Church. But only if you both get Covid tests first.

I was talking to my friend and warbird mentor last night. He was a 757, 767 and 777 captain for UAL, and he said he had two uncontained engine failures on the 777 in his career. One was on the ground, and one was over the ocean.
He said the plane was designed to accommodate such and event, and he said it worked as designed in the event of engine failure. Just the design of slinging the engine underneath the wing is a safety measure, so uncontained engine parts don’t sever the wing. If the engine was in the wing like the DeHavilland Comet, game over.
Interesting perspective. Then again this guy flew KC-135s in Vietnam and SAC, so not much phases him.
He did say United has more than once been fined for going on the cheap with maintenance during his 20+ years with United.
