Explanation / Answer

It is given that the engines work independently.

thus, the probability of an unsafe flight will be = P[failure of engine 1]*P[failure of engine 2] = 0.003*0.003 = 0.000009.

Now, the probability of safe flight is = P[engine 1 is working]*P[failure of engine 2] + P[failure of engine 1]*P[engine 2 is working] + P[engine 1 is working]*P[engine 2 is working] = ( 1 - 0.003 ) * 0.003 + 0.003 * ( 1 - 0.003 ) + ( 1 - 0.003 ) *( 1 - 0.003 ) = 0.999991.
