While modern aircraft engines are relatively reliable, they quit running often enough to be a measurable factor in the accident rate. In this video we published a couple of years ago, Paul Bertorelli examined why aircraft engines fail. Some are preventable, some aren’t.
Thanks for showing it again! Good refresher. Good topic.
Thank you for the review. I appreciate the reminders to do the easy preventative stuff like regularly sump tanks and use carb heat, besides of course keep enough gas and oil onboard.
