wouldn't have happened over here...cos we're twins only, and for this very reason.
With all due respect Thomas coupling, I know of one western United States police department operating about 9 single engines , highest time with over 10,000 hours , without incident.
I am a big proponent of twin engine aircraft, but see red when statements like these are made.
US police forces fly 24/7,365 days, in all weather...........of course the potential for incident /accident is much greater.
