"I never understand these owners spending Millions, having two engines and back up systems yet only one heart at the controls

Pace "

TBM 700 N30LT crash at EGTK on 6 Dec 2013, killed the sole prof pilot and the owner and his wife. The owner was the wealthy boss of the French supermarket chain, Carrefour. So nothing new in the case of high net worth owners choosing to fly not only single pilot but also single engine.
This is what the AAIB said in conclusion:
"it is possible that control of the aircraft was lost during an attempted late go-around, or as a result of an unknown distraction".

Their`s not to reason why, their`s but to do and die, seems to have ring of truth.
