On ME aircraft, the issue you may have missed is the difficulty in determining that an engine has actually failed at all when on approach, because of the low power settings typically being used, and the resultant lack of significant yaw. Once it is determined that an engine has failed, the recovery actions will depend on how close you are to the field, and whether your position and speed actually require any significant increase in power on the live engine. If little or no increase in power is required, you really don't have to go through the drill of pushing all the levers forward a la EFATO. Sort the problem out on the ground.
Yeah. As you know I'm a relative newbie in the world of twin engine flying, but I do wonder about this "push everything forward" thing. If you
are at full power, you're at full power, so pushing ain't gonna help. If you're not at full power, the odds are that you're at a stage of flight where climb performance is not critical. "Climb power" on one engine is enough for level flight or better at blue line. Full asymmetric power is going to buy you a little extra rate of climb and a lot of extra control problems.
