if given an engine failure for real after t/o at 500' in a Baron 58, ATR72, Boeing 737, or any EK type would end up in a shallow smoking hole in the ground a couple of miles beyond the upwind threshold.
Baron 58? I agree. That's a bear pulling at the tail and no excess power whatsoever.
ATR72? Well. If you are not actually asleep...
737? Gimme a break. All that's needed is nose down by 5 degrees and caressing the CORRECT pedal. But - I like your style too.
