"Now I am sure some expert can correct me on a few of those things, but essentially what it boils down to is that despite the mighty 747s having 4 donks, you should theoretically be safer on a twin designed to ETOPs standards because of the higher standards imposed, additional checking and redundancy. (The easy solution, build the 747 to the higher ETOPS Standards, and incoporate the appropriate maintanence and engineering and checking programs)"
Have to disagree there.
There are some operators out there who's only extra requirement on an ETOPS sector PDI is to check the crew oxygen!
With others it requires extra checks on generators, hydraulics etc.
So you see, it has nothing to do with the a/c type but everything to do with the operator and it's NAA's requirements.
