press 'search' and you'll notice that of the 940 reports, the vast, vast, vast majority are single engined rotorcraft.
Note also the vast,vast,vast majority are pilot error and not engine related.
So if the weakest link in the chain is the pilot, why are the UK CAA mandating twins?
Perhaps there should be twin tail rotors, twin tail rotor drives, twin rotor heads,
twin everything…
There still seems to be a lot of twins crashing so something is wrong with the system.
