On the other hand, I've seen some engines fail catastrophically for no apparent reason other than a part broke. One of my friends was bragging how well his 1200 hr O-300 was running and the next flight, Bam! Rod cap broke. That's why we prepare every for every flight with the potential for the engine to crap out, right?
Pilot walks away, good landing. Plane can be used again, great landing! Might need some repairs but it was off airport! If every off airport landing ended that way..........
