BB "the impact of a single engine failure on a single engine machine is rather more dramatic than the same single engine failure in a twin also goes without saying."

and to simplifiy the discussion: the impact of a gearbox failure (more probable in a twin) in a twin is pretty dramatic too!! That's why it wrong to only look at the downside of the engine failure without accounting for the consequential other risks. Yes there should be less forced landings in twins due to engines, but more for other reasons, making them overall unjustified (in general).

Crab - don't start getting rude again (and wrong) - and can't you just respect that I don't want the pressure on the identity?
