I am educated enough thanks. What I am refering to is the industry as a whole really needs a lot of work. Not just commutair but them and all the rest of them that do shabby mx and crappy work conditions. Eventually anough people will die because of crappy training and $hitty planes that they will realize that they passed the point of "acceptable losses".

You paint with a pretty wide brush. Do you, or have you worked at "....commutair and all the rest of them..."?

How is an uncommanded feather an "engine failure"?

Actually in the Dash, it's probably worse than if the engine just shuts down. It puts a lot of torque on the gear boxes and such and requires immediate attention. The engine failure (provided it feathered itself) you just drive up to 1,000 feet and secure it.

Ditto on that one. An unscheduled prop feather with a PW 120 series engine is a very big deal... If you don't secure it immediately very bad things might result. An engine failure with a functional autofeather is a fairly benign event.

Audio clips can be heard on www.liveatc.net the non flying sounds very calm and collect.
