The problem with light twins is that they have been extensively used for commercial training looking at larger more capable aircraft in the future!
IMO that is why the accident rates are high especially in low time incurrent private pilots.
Light twins give you more options than a single but they are options!
One maybe to establish blue line and go for a climb at grosse weight!
Maybe ok till you hit sinking air and blue line has gone while you are adding more and more rudder to hold the ship together.
That training forgets you have an extra throttle connected to another energy source through the elevator. It forgets other drag you can get rid of other than flaps gear props etc.
As stated why try and kill yourself trying to hold blue line when most light twins are more than happy in level flight!
The twin doesn't know whether it's at 300 feet agl or 3000 feet !
As in my engine failure, feather the prop shut down the faulty engine!
Why? Why shut down a unit producing 30 % power when you desperately need it ? In my case it worked.
The extra engine gives you more options one which maybe to close both and take to a field.
Historically twin training has been all about blue line NOT thinking out of the box at numerous options open to you.
IMO that is the reason for bad accident stats on twins.
