I have never flown a twin but could imagine that a real life failure such as described here would be a handful
Some of us who have, and have trained to fly them appropriately for years, and been tested, are more content doing so than cruising around the world waiting for the unplanned descent to mother earth which surely follows every engine failure in a single.


Having dealt successfully with engine failures in twins, from historic types to turboprops (never in a turbojet, though I have done OEI flying including landings and go-arounds in them), I'd rather rely on my training and skills, than decide that those things are lacking and resign myself to being competent only to fly a single.


I think that reflects how I would like to care for my passengers, too.
