"Anyone got any comments on (more applicable to S/E I know...) having height up your sleeve for EFATO?
More height = more choices."
Sorry ..... but I just can't get into this idea of max rate/angle of climb on TO, or hugging the runway in the circuit in case of an EFATO event.
If I thought there was a real chance of an engine failure on TO or anywhere else, I would never depart YTWB (in either direction) or fly SE IFR over an unknown ceiling - or TO from Cherrabah two weeks ago!
I know who flys the FTDK (me!) and I know who maintains it.
I guess if it happens and I smack in, someone can start a thread in here -
See Doc - we told you so!
