Most engine failures are partial power, like carb ice or one cylinder failure. In 5.4k hours in piston engines I had 3 of them. Even when leaning and using carb heat expertly. I barely kept altitude to bring it back on 3 cylinders. Catastrophic or total are rare, unless you dried the tank which is not engine failure, its pilot failure but happens too often due to Error. All pilots should be trained to fly on 3 cylinder rpm or Minimum Level Power without pulling too much, increase drag & descend.
Hi Rod this is an old instrument student of yours from the 1970's
