Another twin engine widow maker. My flight instructor hated piston-engine twins, saying you had twice the risk of an engine failure, and the only advantage it gave you was the opportunity to crash a little closer to the airport.

I think the ideal aircraft from a safety standpoint would be a STOL Cessna Caravan with a single turboprop, fixed gear, and a chute recovery system.

I’m guessing that your flight instructor hated IFR also. I refuse to fly IFR unless it is in a twin.
