The fact remains that after all the talk they walked away from twin engines and are expecting delivery of the first replacement single engine A119 Koala any time now.

Still it has the PWC PT-6 ... '... probably the most reliable engine in the world...' [say that sounds a familiar line] but a fadec on a single can be tricky to handle at low altitude [so winch every time no fixed lines please ....].
