If only the industry would listen to the experts here!

Who have probably never flown a twin.....

So right Shy and so wrong Ornis! The second engine took me 75 minutes from literally the middle of the northern North Sea to safety onshore on a black, snowy, windy, winter's Sunday night. I almost certainly wouldn't be here now if I'd only had the one, but of course I wouldn't have been in that location if I'd only had the one anyway!
