Forget about getting a clean answer from anyone who flies a 429 for EMS when it comes to how much they actually weigh on the helipad and how much they can carry.
It's either the fuel or the patient for anything but the next county over.
Well, two engines does mean double the chance of engine failure. How many of these light twins really can get you home from out at sea on one engine with a patient, EMT and two pilots aboard?
109SP, EC-145 and yes even the 429 can do that. What you are not thinking about is when you DO LOSE the ONE engine you have in a single. Does not matter how big that engine is, your OEI performance is going to suck
