Default Why are multiple engines different?

deal with that in real life. Still, I'd have a better chance than I
would with an engine failure in a single-engine plane.


Surprisingly, I don't think the record bears that out, or at least not
nearly so much as you might think. As I posted earlier, it is the decision
making that tends to bite people concerning a failure in a twin. In a
single, the biggest, most crucial decision is made for you as soon as the
engine fails.
