When I did my old "B" rating (now known as MEP), the instructor was so polite, he never used 4 letter words in front of a lady!

It was only later that someone else told me the absolutely essential, & easy to remember mnemonic, for engine failure (especially after take-off) in a twin:-

U Undercarriage - check retracted
C Clean - check flaps up
K Kill (closedown) dead engine
