Critical engine has to do with performance, it doesn't mean you'll automatically lose directional control...

Critical engine is the engine that when lost will have the largest negative impact on performance. You can lose directional control with an engine failure on either side, regardless of whether one engine is critical or not.



If he puts at least a certain percentage of it as seminole time it will be purely window dressing since seminoles do not have critical engines, but it will help and I would do that. Just giving my thoughts... I am not a hiring person.
On a seminole they are both critical! (to having much use anyway).


In this case, you are still dealing with the adverse effects of an engine failure... you just don't have one side that has a worse effect than the other.
