Full disclaimer: everything i'm showing in this video is based on my biased opinion it's biased because I'm a single engine pilot but a lot what I will share is also based on facts. So twin engines if you are either an enthusiast or say for example you are brand new and just starting your journey in aviation and perhaps you think of one day graduating from a single engine airplane to a twin piston this is generally the trend where you have pilots start out with a low entry single engine fixed landing gear aircraft and then as they continue to grow, you get your instrument generally you want to get your multi engine and that's how you graduate into the twin engine category. But is it necessary that's what we want to talk about today. Let's go back to the very inception of light twins when you think of this category of aircraft the thought behind having two engines is you'd have more and better performance again you have two engines, you have a more capable aircraft, generally speaking you can carry more load so more useful load and you can fly higher. Now though there are a lot more single engine aircraft that can match those same performance and in some cases outperform a light twin. Let's look at the numbers for starters a twin engine aircraft generally will be more expensive even an older model you'd be paying more upfront to buy a twin engine aircraft than you would a single engine airplane and your cost doesn't automatically stop there your operating cost for a twin engine will also be more in some cases exponentially more than a single engine airplane or single-engine piston airplane. When it comes to your maintenance let's just say the the typical maintenance for twin airplanes can get really high because again you have two engines to worry about instead of one and not just having two engines generally speaking in a twin you're also flying a complex aircraft retractable landing gear and you have more things that need to work together to operate that aircraft. What that means more parts that can break. Let's talk about the safety record. It is a common belief that having two engines is safer than having one so you may have a pilot gravitate towards a light twin with this notion. Well the numbers doesn't show that. As a matter of fact the numbers show the opposite over the years when you study the accident rates of light twins and the fatality rates of light twins, it shows that compared to a single engine airplane you're up to four times more likely to have a fatal crash in a twin-engine airplane compared to a single piston engine airplane. While there are some benefits to flying a twin, it will cost you more no matter how you bake and slice it. And it's not safer.
