My dear Surplus1, I have no desire to engage in a pissing competition with you or anyone else for that matter, I merely wished to share my experience, maybe even for the greater good.

There is of course no question that a twin on one should be perfectly controllable in every way under normal conditions. It is when a manoeuvre is mishandled that problems [U]may[U] occur. And I'd venture that the probability of a mishandle after an unexpected engine failure is greater than it is under training or testing conditions.

On this occasion I witnessed a pilot far more able than me enter and mishandle a simple manoeuvre at a speed appropriate to the configuration; controlled flight was departed, some height was lost and controlled flight was re-established. No big issue except that had the manoeuvre been entered some 200ft closer to the ground I wouldn't be writing about it.

Sobering is the word I'd use to describe the experience, not bogus.
