Well, I've had a couple of precautionary shutdowns in a commuter t-prop,
both ultimately traced to faulty sensor or indicator; and a couple of
failed generators or hydraulic systems, etc, but these last occurred in
Boeing transports with multiple redundancy. I've never encountered a
failure that was a show-stopper. Knock wood.

I have just over 5000 hours and have had
4 complete failures, one partial power failure, and 2 precautionary

shutdowns.
I've also had a dual prop governor failure in a Twin Otter which lead to
shutting down one of the engines.
