I have one question for everyone. Why must pilots in the gulf of Mexico fly twin engines equipment with a fuel requirement of destination plus 30 minutes, and not enough power to land on any rig or platform with one engine inopertive, and not enough fuel to go to the beach. Ditching in the water in not a normal procedure. So far no one has had to do this. The only aircraft that has the power to hover at gross wt with one engine , is the Bell 214ST, and it is a dinosaur. I vote to have more powerful engines.
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
