Question for Nick: A common belief is that providing you operate outside the RFM H-V curve you will have fly away capability in the event of an engine failure. True or false? (assuming you are maxed out, and not single pilot in Antarctica with 100 pounds of fuel )
I'd say false. On a normal departure you are only assured that you should, if you perform properly, be able to land back safely (before CDP) as long as you remain in the unshaded area.
