Single Turbine IFR Ops

Hi everyone,

Anyone who has seen a few of my posts will know that I am a proponent of SE IFR in the UK..initially freight me thinks. I have a question to ask.....Given the overwhelming evidence that a Single engine turbine a/c is at the very LEAST as safe as the older piston twins that are currently buzzing about...and not to forget about the many dozens of SET that fly around europe each day on private ops happily and safely...can anyone honestly say..(and lets try and leave emotion out of the argument) that the time has come to relax the two engine rule and approve this mode of air transport.

Your thoughts and opinions would greatly be appreciated...along with experiences and perhaps some sound and concise reasoning.



Cheers
