And in any case, with an engine failure at 200 feet any sensible pilot goes around, solves the problem, thinks about it and then attempts another approach.
He does?
What an absolute daft idea.
Must be 'new' guys in charge, with 'new' fuzzy thinking.

Of course, I don't fly a twin, so can't say about those.

We had one B737 Captain at SVA who had an engine failure on approach at approximately 800 agl, and he flew around for one hour to try to burn off fuel for a lighter landing weight.
The respective fleet manager was not amused, and suspended said Captain for a very long time....then back to the RHS.
