I'll just add that successful single engine emergency landings in twin
engine airplanes isn't a statistic that is reported (to my knowledge)

That's gotta change. I'll start.
number of successful single engine emergency landings: 1
number of unsuccessful single engine emergency landings: 0
The worst part about landing with one caged is trying to taxi.

I don't know of another twin that gives you so many positives with so few
negatives. The more we fly our Aztec, the more we like it.

I've taken off and flown for hours (on different occasions) with one
engine pulled. It's not much of a challenge. From the way others
talk about twins, this docile behavior of the Aztec is a rarity. (Yes,
a Twin Commander has flown with one prop removed and I do lust for one
of those sometimes.) I would be *much* less comfortable with the
really sexy twins which are more demanding of pilots.

(I feel like I should be trying to sell my Aztec but as you might be
able to tell, I'm quite enamored with it.)
