EP and GBV:

I agree with you both, it appears the airplane is on a too high angle of attack than normal and obviously banking too much for an engine out abnormal operation. apparently below Vmca in the video.

In the takeoff phase, the L-410 UVP and UVP-E will fly good enough with one engine if flown within its limits, if you can clean the airplane in schedule and the autofeather kicks in, or you manually feather, it will fly. If not, you're surely on a controlled descent (at MTOW). Stable, docile aircraft in general, predictable and heavy on the controls. Lands on a dime and takes off in a quarter.

The only L-410 sim I knew of was in Kiev in the early 90's. from my knowledge, through Latin America initials and recurrents are done in the actual airplane, no big deal if you know what you're doing and the trainee/trainer are of at least average experience for this type. (I would loved to have a sim in my time to take/impart training though).

Sad day, loss of life are never welcome news.
