So Agaricus bisporus, regardless of the fact the propulsion is more reliable, where exactly does the aircraft go when an engine failure does occur and the cloudbase is below safety height??
Also how can a MULTI engine aircraft depart on a flight SE IFR??? Can you point me at the official statistics which back up your claim that turbine singles are "several" times safer? I'm no fan of the JAA/CAA, but on this issue they are absolutely right to ban SE public transport IFR. (what private flyers want to do is their business or should I say risk..) Also, many of these flights would be single crew operations, which is an even greater potential risk than one engine....
