 What happens if a jet plane loses power in all engines
All modern planes can continue their take-off procedure with the loss of one engine (even if they only had two engines to start with) but if they lose all power in all engines, then the pilot has very little time or opportunity to urgently turn the plane around and to return back to the airport.
If the plane loses all power while at cruise altitude, the first thing the pilot needs to do is to realize that he has irrevocably lost power and to switch his focus from trying to recover power to planning how and where to land.
Logically, the plane is either over a developed urban area, which reasonably implies the presence of an airport nearby, or alternatively, it is over undeveloped area, which hopefully means open fields (but not mountains!).

For those vias connecting a decoupling capacitor to a power/ground plane, the 'mounted inductance' of a cap depends on the size of the current loop formed by the cap pins, the fanout, the vias and the pwr/gnd plane structure - the bigger the loop area the higher the inductance.
When a noise source is assigned to the main plane does PI calculate the noise on the smaller islands or do i have to guess the amount of delta current for this particular island.
Power integrity does not allow me to set up such plane pair as they are on the same layer.

 Power Supply and Ground Design for a WiFi Transceiver - Maxim/Dallas
Given a four-layer board, as is commonly used in WLAN routing, a typical stack-up would use the top layer for component placement and RF routing, a ground plane on the second layer, power routing on the third layer, and whatever signal routing remains on the fourth layer.
Placing an uninterrupted ground plane on the second layer is imperative for establishing well controlled impedances for the RF signal paths.
The general rule is to avoid cross-interference by using a ground plane to shield the RF section from other circuitry in the board.

When a power plane is extended in area to embrace all of the ICs its power bus services, and all of their decaps, we find we now have a much higher number of decaps in parallel.
An interesting observation is that when the spacing between the 0V and power planes in the pair is less than 250µm (10 thousands of an inch) the placement of the decaps with respect to their ICs becomes less critical, easing PCB layout [20].
The power plane is on an internal layer of the PCB and has a 0V plane on both sides, each of these 0V planes extending beyond the power plane by a distance that is equivalent to at least 20 times their spacing from the power plane

 Power Plane Resistance
The worst of the lot chopped the power plane into a profusion of irregular zones, just like a map of the Balkans.
Don't worry too much about the wire radius, though, because the radius of the connection point enters the resistance formula only inside a logarithm; it has little influence on the final result unless the vias are particularly close together.
The difference between the reality and the formula is due to current crowding at the boundaries of the finite plane.
