My fovorite ezample are those pilots who are
confident that they could handle an IMC gyro failure when the record shows
that many (most?) cannot.

Give me an engine failure any day. Gyro failure is my worst nightmare.

In a SE airplane w/ an engine powered vacuum pump and w/out a backup
electric pump or backup electric gyros, engine failure will become
gyro failure in a minute or so.
