>interrupts the planned flight and results in a premature landing
Does anyone else find it amusing / ironic that blowing a turbo in flight, and ingesting enough debris to destroy a rotor doesn't necessarily constitute an "incident" because the engine kept running and the plane kept flying. :)
Actually, this one did "interrupt" the flight, or would have if I hadn't landed,  because I was loosing oil from the turbo housing. (I don't have Dave's oil shut off).
