The PC12 argument is emotional not rational. It is statistically safer than most twin pistons
MM

Thats not something to Brag about Is it statistically safer than a twin Turbine its engine comparison?

To compare against a light piston twin is not a fair comparison.

A turbine is far more reliable than a piston. A light piston will not climb well engine out unless conditions weight etc are good. Throw in low time twin pilots who are not totally current and they are accidents waiting to happen.
