HeliComparator understands very well my perspective and which I partly summarised in my original post when writing:
However, on those rare occasions when a double engine failure occurs, it is possible to see how a multi-engine pilot may not instantly take the required action in the same way as a single engine pilot would, and for the right reasons, because the multi-engine pilot must assess the nature of the power failure, even if it is to determine that both engines have failed. In a single, any sort of interruption to powered flight is not only obvious but it is equally obvious that there is no recourse (ie. only one possible action to be taken). This is not the "normal" mindset of a multi-engine pilot who will be trained to recover from a power failure with partially powered flight from the remaining engine.
