Nearly exactly a month ago, I asked
this question about whether multi-engine pilots should practice PFLs. There was some good discussion on the subject (before the thread got sidetracked into talking about engine maintenance issues).
If the cause of this accident is shown to be icing problems in both engines, it might be worth considering my question again, since this is clearly a case where it doesn't matter how many engines you've got - if there is an icing problem which prevents your engines from running properly, you're going down.
Obviously no need for the pilots in this case to practice their PFLs - they seem to have been perfectly capable of ensuring a safe outcome. Nice one!
