I often read NTSB reports and am always astonished at how many accidents were truly preventable.

What gets me is the number of people who blow it in a twin-engine plane when one engine goes out. The study I read said that power loss accidents in twin-engine planes were more likely to be fatal than in single-engine planes, although the power loss accident rate for twin-engine planes was lower.

I guess when you lose your one engine your actions are simple and limited, but when you lose one of two, the number of actions goes up, increasing the chance for mistakes.

I've lost an engine twice in (two different) single engine planes. Both times made it to a runway - safely.

It definitely gets your attention.
