Hi Finklea,
My condolences with the loss of your brother.
And still, you are out of line, because you can not simply add up accidents.
And you do it again, your second message starts about the engine.There are no
known
problems with the engine or the airframe. As a matter of fact, both have
an excellent safety record. But if there is no fuel going to the engine, because
there is none, or the flow is blocked, it will stop. That does not have to
mean disaster, because you can land an airplane like the Europa perfectly
without
a running engine. Your brother was not killed because of a not running engine,
he was killed because the pilot tried to return to the runway, something
that is a no-no. Statistically it is the very experienced pilot who tries
anyhow,
killing himself and others. The other tragic accidents that have happened
have again different causes, and again nothing to do with engine or airframe.
Maybe, maybe the last one is airframe related, but we don't know yet.
Finklea, please if you do not understand these things ask, and do not start
throwing
accusations around.
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen
