Agreed emphatically, the B200 is all but idiot proof. Power levers drifting back because of loose friction, notwithstanding, that's what your hand on the throttles is for, please remember the very first response to any power plant problem in a light a/c is ........ you guessed it....... POWER UP, if that is not understood 100%, then you're in the seat under false pretences.

Of all the light a/c, the B200 is the cream of the crop, and with autofeather serviceable, any power plant problem is an absolute walk in the park. What is it about light twin pilots making r/t calls at low altitude, ATC can't do anything but call out the fire trucks, and surely distracting your attention at a critical point is completely unnecessary. This seems to be a common theme in EFATO accidents in light twins.

Methinks back to basics would go a long way to preventing this sort of thing, ie Fly The Aircraft.
Just saying!
