5% failure rating, my 6th flight, wham, there goes a engine... 
I flew close to 300nm with a broken engine in my PSS AB330-200. Steadily decended at 100ft/s to maintain speed, got to my TOD,
decended and landed without a problem (Only 5 minutes later than my scheduled arival time as well)
Emergency was declared and sq
was set to 7500 (only to be kicked off VATSIM - but oh well). I must say, I just love the hand claps after the landing - nice touch
Hey Dan, I'm getting good at this now -g- Now the question remains just how much that new darn engine is going to cost!!!
