I should have mentioned if you do VR go, you need to know something about special procedures, flight path and obstacle clearance. It hasn't gone un-noticed that few pilots in this class of aircraft have little to no knowledge about that.
Your last paragraph is very true, go look at the escape procedure/s out of NZQN, scary stuff in a marginal twin!
