Not at all, skydiving from a plane without a parachute is almost always deadly (very few exceptions) while landing with an engine failure is something every student practice in the flight school (at least in my country).
The smaller the plane, the easier to land it with an engine failure, the smaller the plan the fewer pieces that can break. yes, the average General Aviation pilot is quite bad, that explains the huge accident rate compared to airliners, but the reliability of the planes is not bad at all.
- m4rtink 6y agoThat's why I like gliders - one less component to fail (the engine) and every landing is an engine out landing, with the plane built and pilot trained to do that. :)
- AdrianB1 6y agoAll pilots are trained to land with the engine out. Some are better and most are not, that's not the plane's fault. Yes, glider pilots are the best at this :)
