In Australia, a Cessna light aircraft's engine failed, but the pilot managed to steer it away from residential buildings. (i.imgur.com)

You should prefer the bigger ones haha. The big planes have two engines and complete redundancy, two pilots who have more experience, turbine engines which are more reliable, better glide ratio so they can glide further, higher cruise levels so they can glide even further. I fly that plane in the video for work and I cross my fingers when we go over dense trees or water because those 1980's planes are always giving us trouble!

Out of curiosity, what do you do for work that involves flying a light aircraft like this?

Probably Instructor, to become the big jet pilots you have to start on the small planes.

Maybe a bush pilot. There are many remote areas that don't have airfields big enough to service large planes and if medicine, food or people need to go there, they have to be brought in by smaller planes that can land on those airfields.

Here is a YT channel of a bush pilot in Papua New Guinea if you're interested.
