Yes, very much my point. In the UK at any rate I think the vast majority of twin pilots are well trained, and I think the frequency of the re-currency check goes a long way to help keep these skills current. Of course a low hours twin pilot, particularly one not current, and in difficult conditions, will find an unexpected engine failure at a critical flight phase challenging, BUT in many twins it really isnt the event it is made out to be.
As to the stats., as ever, they cant be taken in isolation. We have well rehearsed the accident stats for the Cirrus in the past. Yes, it was higher than most light singles for some time. Yes, pilots used the Cirrus to fly further, higher, and in more challenging conditions than many other like singles. Twins are the same. Pilots use twins to fly further and in more challenging conditions, and they are more complex, you are simply not comparing like with like.
