I believe that the UK CAA do not allow public transport flights on single engine aircraft, so maybe they agree with 411A?
If one follows the logic of 411A's point of view no one would ever take-off in a single engine airplane, or is that considered a Mayday situation from take-off to touchdown?

Single Engine Public Transport Aircraft
Final 3 Greens. Because the UK CAA does not permit Single Engine Aircraft to operate in the Public Transport category does not mean that every other authority does not also, or that these countries are right or wrong. The USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand all allow passengers to be carried in single engine turbine powered aircraft in the Public Transport category in IMC and have done for over ten years. Many others including France, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Norway, Spain and Sweden all permit these aircraft to conduct freight operations in IMC.
That the UK CAA and 411A are in agreement is no surprise, they are both having trouble getting into the 21st century way of doing things.
