Tips

It's been a while, but from memory the most important bits are:

Take off Safety speed is XXX
If an engine fails after take off Mix UP, Pitch UP, Power UP, Gear UP, Flap UP
Dead foot = Dead engine
Confirm with full throttle movement
Feather Dead engine
Maintain Blue line speed of YYY

Then you can also add bits like:
Maximise climb with 5 degree aob and 1/2 ball deflection, what to do if VMC or IMC etc.

Guys who fly piston twins regularly can correct this.

But I've gotta say:

My instructor drilled me today as mine isn't quite up to scratch.
Since I'm guessing you weren't born knowing a good M/E take off safety brief, why hasn't your instructor given you an example one during your training?

DIVOSH!
