Not everyone is satisfied. But those with the money, thus the power to change the regulations, appear to be satisfied. This includes the major oil companies, all of which use single-engine ships here. Zalt is simply wrong when he says in another thread that they don't. I guarantee you that single-engine, single-pilot hellicopters will continue to be used. I don't know anyone who even suggests otherwise. Providing better equipment, such as GPWS, TCAS, etc is what we need to be pushing for, along with increased weather minimums. I've flown countless hours at 500/3 in a 206, and the margin is razor-thin. But the FAA standard is merely clear of clouds, unless the ops specs dictate higher. Thankfully most do, but they're still too low.
