Someone please tell me what airframe out there has true OEI fly away capabilities in an OGE hover at max gross weight. As a reminder, in the utility world we hover a lot and I'm not sure there is a twin out there that can pull itself out of an OGE hover on one engine at sea level on a cool day never mind at high DA's. In the utility world excellent maintenance, and well trained and supported crews will out perform anything a twin might do for you in an emergency. Twin engines = bigger smoking whole. IMHO.
