Dual or single.
And I'll throw my two cents behind Olympic here too. I've flown with many nationalities in a number of different circumstances (Jet's, TP's, Piston, Airline, Air Attack) and I find what he says to be quite true on average.

seems confirmed 2 pilots and one f/a dead. does anyone accuratley know if there was a 3rd pilot on board? either in training or deadheading?...several witnesses, including passengers have said the engines went to full power seconds before impact. the turkish pilot union is saying it was wake turbulence from a 757...= I say that is hogwash. I am more inclined towards mechanical issues, mel's or even flight training accident if in fact the f/0 was receiving such.... I am almost 80% sure the gpws was yelling...g/s, pull-up , terrain etc.

AC Safety Harness System
Pax walked away from this and yet the cockpit crew did not ,which brings me to this and that is maybe it's time for the designer's of these a/c to come up with a system where the crew has a better chance of survival in instances like this in which decelleration forces are the cause of a fatality.
