Careful, chaps.

With an engine failure at other than (relevant to the aircraft) lowish weights all bets are off.

Unless your ops eng people have addressed the OEI overshoot obstacle situation specifically, the pilot is on his own and ought to feel very, very lonely.

... and keep in mind that such considerations may well involve either a significantly higher minimum and/or a different overshoot plan, arrived at in a manner similar to OEI takeoff analyses. The latter is relevant to the FAR25 type of machine. If yours is a light aircraft, however, then you are in a predicament ....

There have been some detailed discussions in the past year in the tech forum on this subject and a search will pick up some quite interesting reading.
