rcoight,

Yes I agree there was some form or to some degree of pilot error there, lets face it in life the only way to reduce the risk of flying other than leaving the thing parked on the tarmac. Is to make things idiot proof or just increase the level of safety. Now call me old fashion if more then one donk provides that extra safety net for me and other pilots. So as you have said we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

CW, I see your point old son ..... But every accident is a combination of mistakes. Whether it be in the B200, PC12 or the even 747 if the wrong situation arises in any aircraft an accident may occur.(there are many variables i know!!!) I do however believe that an extra engine does provide that extra safety buffer.

As always each to there own I say. We can debate this subject till we are all blue in the face and ........CW has no hair left and I start going grey
