Twins 'v' singles
Having flown and trained many pilots in a single engine helicopter over water, at night for the last 7 years. I need to quash the whole "it wouldn't happen in a twin" cr@p. Read the crash comics on the super puma with check and training captains at the wheel? It still hit the water!
From current IFR Twin Captains to guys just obtaining their night ratings, there has been no real difference in how they fly once we get out to the "black" and approach the ship. Evetyone makes the same mistakes.
It all comes down to currency/training. Not the size or number of engines.
RIP Andy & crew.
