AnFI - look at it this way - which helicopters are written off or badly damaged the most? Oh, that will be single engined ones then.
Why? because they are used for training and some of that training is touch-down autos (EOLs). Why? because the effect of a single engine failure in a single is usually much worse than in a twin so dealing with that becomes quite high up in the priority list.
Why bother? according to your viewpoint and 'statistics' you are as safe in a single yet
AFAIK all authorities around the world require that EOL skill (even if the examiners might not be up to it any more).
The British military (and others) are going to twin-only training, even for basic helicopter trg, all Police and AA in UK are twins, SAR is in twins - even the Queen flys in a twin.
So, has everyone else in the world got it wrong and you are the true voice of reason???
