>The fact is that following engine failure in a twin, providing the subsequent landing is safe, there will be no formal 'publicity'; the event is non-reportable and will not be investigated. Thus the numbers are slewed - all the published reports you see relating to twins with one engine out are accident reports, because something has gone wrong.
The assertions above are simply rubbish. Even if you wanted to prove them, you couldn't, because there are no statistics to help you. Many engine failures occur in light twins, and end in safe landings on proper runways.<

You may have a valid point and it would be nice to see those statistics and how they arrive at them?
But fair dues a pilot of a light twin always has the option of closing both down and treating it as a forced landing.
That is the difference the second engine gives you more options than in a single my suggestion was another further option to have up your sleeve.
If that still doesnt work close them both and take your chances with what lies ahead. Your not loosing anything and it does work science or no science.
