You're absolutely correct. This is really a hypothetical situation that would never happen because after a lost engine, you'd return to the airport.
Soooo, if the airport you just departed from was below landing limits....or you just left a bunch of debris on it's only runway.... or.... You'd return to that airport?

Funny, I seem to recall something about "Take-Off alternate within 60 minutes, blah, blah, blah...

Problem is, the people I'm talking to don't necessarily believe that.
And those people would be called.....Professionals?

They think you should be able to continue the SID on single engine.
The nerve of some people. How utterly absurd!

Of course airplanes have run into cumulogranite with that mindset, which is why I'm trying to influence the change
.

Could you provide ONE example of this "cumulogranite' event where the SID was flown properly, aircraft operated properly and performance properly calculated?
