I think i also have to do some engine failures on a go-around! Do they happen in day to day flight, No!, but do you have to have the skills to know what to do when it does happen! Might be important! Doing drag demos and engine failures in a trainer to pass a CMEL checkride is slightly different than doing V1 cuts in a transport category airplane. Likewise doing V1 cuts in a transport category SIMULATOR is different than in a real airplane, but I would imagine the training would help in a situation like that!
Seriously, when have you ever done a V1 cut in a Seminole or Baron?
I guess that would be more like a Vmc cut?
What you're talking about is airline training, once you understand and can handle the dynamics behind multi-engine failures it doesn't matter if it's a CRJ or a Duchess.
Also, at what school do you practice these V1/Vmc cuts in a traditional multi? I understand what you're talking about but if you have trained and passed your CPLME you should be able to handle a V1 cut. IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!!! Hydraulic systems and NO CRITICAL ENGINE make it much easier than a Baron that loses over 80% of its overall performance.
I’m sorry to say it but your reasoning behind time building in a C337 as compared to a traditional twin is flawed.
