And that's the problem - time! There's a lot going on, watching the load, listening to the gearbox, etc. If an engine quits, you won't have time to get forward speed - it will even take 2 or 3 seconds to get your head inside the door and make sense of the instruments - far too late!

There's a good case for thinking about doing engine offs with your head out of the door.
