leardvr,first let me say how much I enjoy discussing/debating a subject with someone who is knowledgeable and has some common sense. When I mentioned pulling the power back on the good engine I was referring to the worst case scenario of losing an engine at or very shortly after take-off. In the situation of high density altitude and at or near max gross weight it may simply not be possible to climb away or even maintain altitude. That is what I meant by pulling back the power on the good engine to make an off airport landing at the minimum forward airspeed which will certainly be higher than the mandated 61 knot stall speed of a single engine design. I look forward to your future thoughts.
