TC - illuminating as ever

"Another good reason why the Uk has twin engine limits over congested areas"

WAT?

landing with out any negative consequences! it's actually another reason why a twin is not neccessary - with it's reduced reliability , reduced payload and reduced margin for other critical components (eg AW139) and increased COST !!

US is wealthier than the UK but still does not pay daft budgets for pointless twin engined helicopters (in general) ... why do the Brits?

Rip-off the tax payer?

A little practice and, once in a blue moon, if an engine (of all things!!) did fail - then you too might just inconsequentially land it also - saving the need for us all to have purchased you an excessively expensive twin ... ?

Time to stop over-indulding the public purse...

New job TC? - let us know eh?
