With all due respect your statement re flying an MU2 away from just off the ground with an engine failure is not correct. Certainly it is going to take a significant amount of training and a few things going for you. I was very fortunate to be sent to Flight Safety in Houston for an MU2 refresher course after having accumulated around 100 hours on the Marquise model following a very basic endorsement. That was 40 years ago and I still remember about 8 hours of the sim part of the course was all s/e work, including failures at TOSS , numerous sim resets later survival was achieved. Sadly not everyone got to go to Flight Safety but I did manage to demonstrate the same at altitude during endorsement of others.
I am a little confused about your references to V1 and Vr in regard to the MU2.
