Right, the US does permit SE and or SP IFR. Why not? It is about training. If it were about engines.....how many is really enough for IFR? Over the north Atlantic in the winter, 3 or 4 would be grand. I think your "No SE IFR" is just a knee jerk reaction. Obviously one cannot just throw more pilots and engines into the mix and call the problem rectified, can we? It is still mostly about training. Of course having more then one engine that will sustain flight while in the flight regime you are in one one engine dies is nice also. Maybe I just do not fully appreciate knee jerk reactions as much as I should, that's all.
BTW my post #81 was the result of a knee jerk reaction.
