You know by using a timer... But even with 10 minutes... try Geneva at maximum landing weight.

Just two remarks: the calculations we do are based on a set of rules, minimum requirements, etc... but they are never "reality". The EOSID is a calculation based on an engine failure close at V1. It is not an engine failure at rotation. It is not an engine failure in your first turn. It is not an engine failure at the current actual weight of the aircraft, your aircraft will give more than regulations in many cases. There is a difference between flight preparation regulations and SOP's.

Also - even though many are totally against this practice for very good reasons (negative training) - some instructors might ask you to "deviate" from what you would do in real life to save time in the simulator. Engine out practice is usually one of those cases, where, to save time, quick accelerations in a single engine go-around are accepted to avoid waisting too much time. In some companies, the amount of excercices that need to be carried out in the simulator is becoming really a sad burden for the training people.
