Sorry Prospector,
Eagle never had a fatal accident that I can remember. You might have just as safe memories of GA but in my time light twins have crashed and killed pax in air transport ops all over the country. The Chieftain off Invercargill, the other one on approach into Christchurch, the Queen Air out of Hamilton, Christian aviation on the arc into Rotorua/Taupo?, Nomad into the glacier. Soundsair C208 into a hill, I could go on and on. There was a while there when the UK with 15 times our population had zero fatal air transport ops accidents over an 8 year period when we had 7 fatal CFIT in GA.
You were 105 times more likely to die in GA in NZ than the UK. SPIFR Piston twins aren't safe, when viewed from what the public in the 21st century expects.
Crap autopilots, bad deicing, anything with carbs, well I suppose anything with pistons, single pilot ops that have zero margin for error etc etc etc.
Flame away. I survived it, plenty of my mates didn't.
