"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???

It is not the most sensitive time for me to put my views, as I imagine is very obvious with these recent events.
I think the excessive emphasis on engine failure is not sound.
Engine redundancy comes at a price that needs to be factored in and not ignored.
It was referred to by H500:
"Yes you can argue what you want that a twin is better than a single but you could also argue what happens if the combining gearbox decides to take a break ??? Could have 3 engines doesn't make any difference. Again what is the probability of that.
It is all about weighing up risk and everyone has a different view. I would suggest that the pilot is the biggest risk not the machine."
