An old chief pilot (for whom I had very little respect for many reasons) advocated turning back in a multi engined aircraft after an engine failure in say a MTOW P68 (which will not climb on one at that weight in 30C heat).
When I say turn back, his exact words were "should be able to throw it around and get it back from not very high after takeoff".
I am still shuddering at the words, and my Vmca/stall imagery flashing through my eyes of a P68 plumetting.
