I did notice the other day that after I landed and cut engine a gasket blew and covered the windscreen in oil, maybe they can change it so it only happens when a/c is moving?
Just a minor thing, but any improvement is a plus.

Cutting the engines on the ground will cause damage a lot of times. By turning the engine off you're also switching off the cooling system in most cases, since most of the oil/hydraulic/pneumatic/etc pumps in these aircraft are engine driven.

That's why it's generally advisable to keep it idling until it gets to low temperatures before shutting everything down. Most general aviation aircraft with piston engines clearly specify this in their manuals, for example "idle until temperatures drops to X degrees before shutting down".

Since someone mentioned "Cut engine", would there be any point in using this an engine weren't on fire?
