Single engine performance

Just out of general interest what is the performance like of these turbine conversions on one engine? I used to fly a Turbine Islands, obviously considerably smaller, and when simulating engine failure during LPC and OPC checks it was very difficult to get it to climb. I suspect in the real world a genuine engine failure shortly after take off would have left me looking for somewhere to force land.
If there were only two crew on board, it should have been able to climb on one engine.
