I always had this passion for flying and owning a small aircraft as I previously posted but I never have. Previously never knew when I would have had the time with my other interests. Now retired I doubt it will happen but one never knows.
Anyway, maybe the experts in here may have a thought on this. I always thought a duel engine SMALL aircraft would be safer, but I have seen things like this video more often than not.
Is it the fact that its a light aircraft with one engine that in case of failure you have a significant chance of surviving as the plane will act almost like a glider instead of a downward spiral into the ground?
Is this an advantage to some degree of single engine?
This is a 9 minute long video, it blacks out for only the first less than 2 minutes, the remainder is all video I found quite interesting how calm the pilot remained. If you hang out to the end it shows photos of the engine, looks like it blew apart.
