Slight thread drift but in reply to the Dr...
Our CFI/ATO back in the 90's was notorious in PPL and CPL exams for the following - if a spoken-out-loud EFATO action checklist ("if I have an engine failure before taking off...if after takeoff...reduce power, land straight ahead, etc.) was not heard while sitting at the threshold or holding point he would pull the mixture on the pilot during the takeoff roll (early and at a safe distance). Scared the shizen out of those caught not being EFATO aware.
