An un-contained engine failure is when debris is shed radially penetrating the outside of the engine. If the debris goes out the back OR the front of the engine in a failure it is NOT un-contained failure: that is how they are designed and certified.

That's highly unlikely. Trijets however are allowed to perform a takeoff and ferry flight on two engines. The restrictions are very strict (briefing, no payload, minimum mission time and fuel, etc.) This is to allow the aircraft to evacuate an airfield in case of an engine failure, whereas the problem cannot be fixed on site.

@starguy271810 ай бұрын

@jake_10 ай бұрын
Because pilots would lose valuable flying skills that would be desperately needed in the event they would need to take over. It's a balancing act, like everything in life. Would you like incompetent pilots trying to land a plane with a malfunctioning auto pilot in an emergency? Auto landing is reserved for those cases where pilots would not be otherwise capable to land the plane due to poor visibility, but can safely take control if it is needed for a go around.
