Single-engine and multiengine airplanes behave very differently in the event of a single-engine failure. This is the main reason the FAA requires separate ratings on your pilot certificate for multi- and single-engine aircraft. Following an in-flight engine failure on a single-engine airplane, the pilot has only one opportunity to land within gliding distance. Adding one or more engines for redundancy would seem like a natural solution to this problem. If an engine fails on a twin, the remaining one should help you fly safely to the nearest airport. And in fact, multiengine aircraft do add a layer of safety in the event of power loss. However, too many accidents occurred on light twin aircraft following an engine failure, even when the other worked fine. The culprit is the asymmetrical thrust produced by most multiengine airplanes. This force imbalance causes a significant loss of directional control and performance. For a light twin, an engine failure on takeoff may result in an 80 percent loss of climb performance and severe yaw and rolling tendencies toward the failed engine.
