Expected this to be the typical small private single engine plane. Interesting it was a double engine, I’d expect that to be safer on the options of private plane and not see this.
Twins are safer in theory but with caveats, mostly to do with pilots putting too much trust in that sense of security. A twin with one engine out has serious differential thrust that needs to be managed, and significantly reduced climb rate that can easily catch the pilot off guard. Pilots can get into an unrecoverable situation thinking that they’re still airworthy, whereas in a single when the engine starts sputtering you immediately are looking for a place to put the plane down.
Ah that makes sense. So if this was a hypothetical one engine out situation, maybe they thought they could get somewhere specific safely instead of doing an emergency landing right then and there and then overestimated their ability to manage a 1 engine out.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and it’s just regular rich folk instead of people we would miss like politicians or Jack Black and Morgan Freeman.
Actually, I take that back, Jack and Morgan have lost touch. Take them, reaper.
You lost me at Morgan Freeman.
The fuck did he ever do to you?
