B2N2 Thanks! I agree with everything you said
but.... If you do not have vertical guidance (and most light twins do not), or somebody to calculate for you the descend rate to arrive at the MP at your MDA there are chances or being too high, AND that is if you come out in front of the runway! hence the word NON PRECISION and if you come out too early then you would have to do a single engine maneuvering 2-3 turns depending of ability and increasing power and more rudder and it will end up a draged out approach, recipe for disaster.

I guess this will be one of those topics that different people have different opinions.

The way I see it
precision approach always at FAF
non precision 2 engines at FAF, 1 engine when you can land
