Single Eng Ops

Be honest with yourselves, if you were a commercial operator and the CAA said single eng ops were OK you'd rip the a*se out of it. Night, IFR, hostile terrain, over water, no probs, after all the CAA says it is OK... But you are the pilot who'd have to fly this beast knowing that when the engine stops gravity will prevail. Statistically you may be lucky, but as your hours build your chances will get slimmer. Flight safety is paramount, fly twins.
