Might be time for the industry to focus less on an engine quitting, which is almost nonexistent
You need to focus on all possible aspects, to do otherwise is what causes accidents. The training regime of most operators involve tail rotor malfunctions, yet I don't personally know anybody who has had one, but I do know they happen. Reason to focus less on training for the event? Nonexistent event? Not a chance.

Engine failures? You can make statistics read what you want. For my part, an engine failure at CDP on a rig take off (S-76), and a couple of years later an engine failure at the begining of the take off roll on a runway in the same aircraft, tells me keep training for engine failures. The only two in 20,000 hours. Nonexistent event? Not a chance.
