#1 Happened to one of my instructors during an FAA checkride ("similated" engine failure induce by the FAA Inspector.). He, of course, "busted" the ride, and it happens more than you might think. No little light on the throttle to ID the "bad" engine, and the gauges can be misleading, esp. at lower power settings.
