Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the rarity of engine failure for pilots, with only one percent experiencing it, and most being able to successfully handle the situation. However, when faced with an in-flight problem, the last resort is to deploy the parachute, which results in the entire plane descending slowly. It underscores the importance for pilots to rely on their expertise and problem-solving skills while acknowledging the potential severe consequences of deploying a parachute.
