Flight Safety,

This aircraft has a max landing roll of 1400ft.

Don't know what this means. Did you mean MIN landing roll?

Engine failure is a mayday situation.

Sounds like he had time to make the call (failure whilst en-route) - and this may or may not have changed the outcome, depending on what balked him into trying to go-around from such a low height

sycamore,

Your DH on an ILS must reflect the fact that you may have to go-around ,and most normal DH`s on ILS`S are around 2-300 agl; you must descend whilst cleaning -up and getting power on and controlling the a/c first. That should never be taught at 2-300 ft -never..

The CAAFU will expect you to do an ILS to height 250' simulated assymetric (assuming a normal cat1 ILS with 200' DH and having explained to them that ACH would be 350')

You learn that way, and you're examined that way for IR.

CaptAirProx,

Something I see very frequently in Multi Training (Senecas) is that pilots come in high and fast on a simulated single engine approach

Do you have an ILS they could use for the approach (even in VMC) so they can see that engine-out 3 degrees is still do-able?

Keef,

...light twin the failure of one engine means that the other engine will take you all the way to the crash.

Surely the first part of that sentence is: "An improperly handled..."?

Handled appropriately could mean accepting a forced-landing cf an SEP, descending to engine-out ceiling (and planning that's above MSA) - or it may not mean either of these things...
