Flame away. I survived it, plenty of my mates didn't.
My point was that these operations can be safe, admittedly the margin for error is virtually non existant with SPIFR in light twins. But as was proven it is possible.

One only has to look at the so called safe operations, with multi pilot crew,modern aircraft and state of the art electronics, the backing of multiple experts to see that safety is not created by layers of so called expertise. One persons wrong decision at the wrong time can erode all those safety layers. My example is the obvious one, Erebus, but the Kaimai prang, the stuffed up approach into Palmerston North, parking the TEAL electra in multiple pieces all over the runway at Whenapai, the DC8 at Mangere, were all examples of layers of safety gone wrong.
