Couldn't tell you...I've never had them both running on the ground except at the hold line...
For Turbo, there was a guy who really used to the "dead stick" thing in a single up here in the northeast. He would fly cross-country until the prop stopped, then glide into the nearest uncontrolled field, and hopefully coast up to the FBO. It was sort of an urban legend around here - there were people along the mid-atlantic coast who swore they were at the airport when he "dropped in," but most of his didn't believe anyone would really do that. Then a couple of years ago he was nabbed by a fed who happened to be at the airport when he declared his usual "emergency."
The dumb thing is, he had his family in the plane. Otherwise, he's more or less just a sort-of-crazy glider pilot...
