From my old Perf 'C' briefing notes (two crew ops):

'In the event of an engine malfunction during or shortly after take-off, or at any other time that there is difficulty in continuing the flight on one engine for any reason, my intention is to close both throttles, and crash into the most suitable area ahead. My priorities will be keeping the wings level approaching touchdown and flying at the correct speed'.

I never had to do the above, but I wonder whether the majority of Perf 'C' operators do consider this...?

Finally, Perf 'C' <DOES NOT EQUAL> airline safety. Seriously, if you're a wealthy individual who wants an exciting aeroplane to fly yourself, buy a Perf 'C' twin. But no-one with a conscience should carry passengers in one.

May they Rest in Peace.
