I'm not a pilot so please excuse any ignorant thoughts/remarks here. Firstly I understand ditching an aircraft is very difficult, All passengers survived so a job well done. My Question to pilots (especially any 'Islander' experienced pilots).
1/ I understand most twins will fly on 1 engine so why the need to ditch?
Could it be weight/range related?
2/ Is the Islander particularly difficult to ditch? I,m thinking about the fixed
undercarriage!
I know we don't have all the facts of this accident but your thoughts are always interesting.
