Hi E120, Brasilia flyer? Even though it might be company policy, I brief the other pilot that we'll go runway track (as long as it's not conflicting with obstacles etc.) because if it's a really bad emergency, I'd like minimal workload. As long as you brief it and the other pilot agrees with it, I think you can do it.

Sometimes if you have to make a right turn after takeoff and the left engine quits on you, you might not be able to make that right turn, especially in a turboprop.

I'll also always brief what altitude I want to level off at, so the other pilot can notify ATC and knows exactly what we're gonna do.

At our company, the SOPs are not written in stone. Well they are, but they're more like a guideline. Just brief your intentions.
