re safety

Can't add much.

One accident (survived) when a 337 bounced off the ocean during a routine patrol (out of florida). Returned to Miami with bent props.

second one, bounced off an ice buildup in the artic. ripped off rear prop, bent tail, smashed gear doors. Landed safely with a bent front prop. Pilot complained of excess vibration.

After an engine failure, the good engine takes you to the airport... not much more can be said. I fly over lots of water all the time.

Ernie.. my fuel system is either "on" or "off"... not very complex.
