That might be fine but do you want to fly in a plane that only has one engine? What about if it has no fallback if the main sensors freeze?

- coldtea 4y ago>That might be fine but do you want to fly in a plane that only has one engine? I've done that lots of times. As do almost all people flying Cessnas, Moonys, Pipers and the like...
- rpeden 4y agoSure, but the question isn't whether you can, it's whether you want to. General aviation's accident and fatality rates are atrocious.

- scott_w 4y agoHave you considered consulting for Boeing and Airbus and telling them that their fallbacks are bloating their planes?
- concordDance 4y agoBoeing et al are forced to implement all those safety systems due to regulations.
- scott_w 4y agoThen go consult for the FAA and tell them those safety systems are just bloat for aeroplanes.
- concordDance 4y agoI'm not saying they're bloat. They're a tradeoff between cost (man hours of work) and lives. They've increased the cost of small planes tenfold but have saved tens of thousands of lives.
- pixl97 4y agoHave you also taken into consideration the death rate in smaller planes, much higher than commercial craft. The moment you attempt that with a 'high capacity' craft you'll suddenly find yourself regulated out of existence by a book written in blood.
