Lots of talk about the "engine" being kinetic energy.

If you have lost an engine on a hot day at MTOW at say 400 feet plus, and if there is a nice field waiting for you just ahead, why not use the other engine:

Potential Energy to make a stress less landing and its home for tea and biscuits!

I'm going to be doing some twin flying soon and therefore not an expert...but my mentality will be chop and controlled landing given the field I fly from and the average density altitude experienced there.

Best,
