Can you explain why you would elect to carry out a forced landing after an engine failure below 300ft ?? Surely this defeats the point of flying a twin ??!

The only reason I can think of is that this is a specific to your airfield & aircraft whereby Vxse isn't sufficient enough for obstacle clearance. My brief has always been, any sort of malfuntion/engine failure after rotation (with insufficient r/w available) take the problem in the air and deal with it as per the check lists.

I'm genuinly interested to know why you've been taught this as I have my ME skills test this weekend at SFC.

Thanks
