Default Who's Boss?

Sounds like you think the entire IFR system should be revamp to make
sure single-engine aircraft are "safe" at all times.

Your ideas are absurd, to say the least.

It's interesting that the our instrument approaches (and controllers) don't
consider single engine power outages and glide ratios when directing
traffic. Many approaches have you descending below glide distances way
sooner than need be. With all the worry and concern about terrain,
obstacles, seperation, etc. you'd think somebody would have raised this
safety issue.
