ask yourselves how many ppl twin instructors actually show closing the live engine throttle and landing on the remaining runway as an option
Problem is, that's a little difficult to do. As a twin instructor, I don't give engine failures at very low level after take-off (frankly, below 200 feet scares me) because, if the student is going to do something silly, it will be difficult to recover in time to avoid Terra Firma. Even if you do close the live throttle, you have to operate at an airfield with a long enough runway to land back on safely, after having allowed the student to try to climb for two or three seconds and demonstrate the futility / danger of the task.
EF at low level on a go-around? Yes, done it, student struggled to cope, I took over, student said "ah yes, I'll remember that next time." But human factors says that s/he probably
won't in the heat of the moment. Plus, again, I would like to die of old age, and giving engine failures at 200' or less with someone else as PF is not a good way to achieve this...
It would be much easier if we had simulators that accurately reproduced this kind of problem - but how many flying schools have simulators of this calibre with good visuals?
Alternatively, many more things are possible with more dual experience on type - but then all the students will disappear down the road to the school offering ratings at the legal minimum hours.
This last point is perhaps the biggest drawback to improving standards in a highly deregulated industry.
