In a scenario where obstacle clearance is a problem - i.e. 35 ft netto is not guaranteed - after losing 1 when already above 1000 ft (having gotten there with both running), one hopes the attention is raised well before starting up.

I'd be greatly interested if someone could illustrate a factual example, where a simple turn back overhead the field might not suffice. Here's mine:



Engine Fail Proc:
At 1 NM past DER turn right, intercept and follow 240° inbound to ELVEN (there's a convenient VOR to do that easily, not charted on this particular sheet).

Not your best day:
After tkof climbing through 1100 ft towards SUSOP, right in the middle of the fjord - surge, boom, and bang - # 1 has given up. Wind approx 220/48 kt, IMC.
