Decision Point
Quote Vtoss, Vyse, MSA
If I have an engine failure before reaching my decision point I will close both throttles and land/pull up on the remaining runway.
I will signify reaching my decision point by retracting the gear.
If I have an engine failure after the decison point I will carry out the drills (expand on that, specific for the aircraft type)while controlling the aircraft including 5 deg and 1/2 ball into the live engine. If the aircraft is performing I will climb straight ahead then make a L/R circuit to return for a landing in VMC or climb to MSA for **** approach.
If the aircraft is not performing I will manouvre the aircraft above Vtoss for a landing (30?degrees) either side of runway heading
This takes into account all the variables such as runway length, slope, surrounding topography
My two bob's worth
