Examples of Engine Failure in a sentence
An Engine Failure in which the only consequence is partial or complete loss of thrust or power (and associated Engine services) from the Engine must be regarded as a Minor Engine Effect.
If reliance is placed on a safety system to prevent a Failure progressing to cause Hazardous Engine Effects, the possibility of a safety system Failure in combination with a basic Engine Failure must be included in the analysis.
While not initially intended, it is recognised that the ratings could also be inadvertently used in some unexpected, non-critical conditions like an Engine Failure in a rotorcraft flying at a high-speed cruise.
The 30-Second OEI Power rating provides a short burst of power to complete the take-off or to effect a rejected take-off, should an Engine Failure occur at the critical decision point, so that the rotorcraft can lift clear of any obstruction in the flight path and climb out or, alternatively, to reject the take-off.

The safety analysis should support the Engine design goals such that there would not be Major or Hazardous Engine Effects that exceed the required probability of occurrence as a result of Engine Failure modes.
Failure to rapidly feather the Propeller following an Engine Failure results in excessive drag on the aircraft, and such a condition can be critical to the aircraft.
