Why are multiple engines different?

And, as is often said, "...the second engine will fly you to the

directly correlated with the loss of total power in a light twin.
Explain the correlation, then.
There is no direct correlation to explain. Whether you can survive an
engine failure in a light twin depends on many other factors. If you are
really interested in learning, perhaps read the NTSB accident reports for
some of them. In short, as you have already been told numerous times,
there are many decisions to make in a very short period of time, and not
making a wrong one is a much greater factor contributing to one's
survival.
You have received several polite and factual responses from pilots
who understand these factors. I don't understand why you continue to
argue the facts, given your status. Please, argue your position in
some sim group, where all things are "equal".
Please don't answer me if you can't stick to the question at hand.
You'll save us both some time.
Please don't post if you're unwilling to study the references and answers
that you've alredy received. You'll save the whole group of us a lot of
time.
