Discussion
Assertion (A): An engine pylon is designed with a deliberate weak link.
Reason (R): In a severe overload the engine should separate cleanly rather than tear the wing open.
Select the correct answer from the options below.
Answer: A
Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. Losing an engine is survivable; losing the wing structure and its fuel tanks is not. The fuse pin arrangement is a certification consideration and has been the subject of accident investigation more than once.
