I've had one Dart, two Garrets, and one PT6, go south instantly on me. They're all turbines. One of these days....

Engine failures happen to other people, not me;)

feet mean sea level (msl), the engine "abruptly and smoothly rolled back." He noted that smoke and
flames were subsequently seen from both exhaust stacks. He reported that movement of the power
control lever had no effect. He stated that use of the emergency manual override (MOR) system did
not restore engine power. He then secured the engine.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

http://www.ubalert.com/a/11107Two people were killed this morning in the crash of the Pilatus PC-12/47E aircraft on which they were flying, near Weert, Netherlands. The aircraft ditched into a field next to a farm, catching fire immediately after the impact. Some eyewitnesses said they saw smoke coming out from the airplane, that would have suddenly lost altitude before inexorably finishing nose-down on the ground. Debris from the aircraft have been thrown way far from the point of impact, showing its violence. The two victims have already been identified: they are Paul Evers (57-year-old) and Henk Hendriks (60), respectively director and administrator of the liquors factory Alko International. Police and aviation authorities are currently on the site to carry out surveys.
