Interesting.

Few pilots (guys/gals who have flown about 15-20 years) have had any real engine failure. I've flown with about two or three. None on the runway after or even near V1.

A pilot who had a more interesting series of compressor stalls in a 737 (300?)was departing Chicago Midway (MDW) and the power kept falling off then coming back several times. He had already finished a full 20-year career in the Air Force C-130. Ironically, the Air Force C-130 had no autofeather, as with the P-3, the E-2 Hawkeye or the Convair-580 (Allison).

How about in simulators? Has any trained or been checked for a sudden failure near V1 with a fairly strong crosswind?
