Just out of interest, why are you so anti-twin? You are a bit of a stuck record! And if your mantra is correct, why do most of the world's regulatory bodies think otherwise and legislate for twin for over water and IMC public transport?

AS355N good light twin; nice and smooth and comfortable. But don't expect the engines to go to time - the early Arrius 1A is hardly robust and Turbomeca won't miss an opportunity to extract money. Having said that actual in-flight failure is very rare.

too long to answer that; money, politics, public perception, bad logic etc etc

and i am not really against twins - i just think it is a bad solution
