Agreed. And what was alway emphasised is that, single engine, the pull/push/pull MUST be avoided at all costs. It was prudent, as you explain, to brief that the trim would be nose heavy and delicate muscling was required. This was more so because the dead-band at 9-10 degrees was very close to the 12-13degree target than the all engine 15 degree target. A large agricultural heave at 10 degrees, with the FD acting like a magnet at too high an attitude, would see the speed dive below V2 and the FD, once airborne would attempt to accelerate you back to V2. With gear down this would be level flight, and I've seen guys, in a panic, call for gear up at RA 5' and VSI zero, and it be selected. Thank god for ground effect, but when frozen in that position it was a very scary salient self-teaching 'never do that again, sir' moment.
