200 feet!!! Yes a bit low for a level circuit! Do you have a full failure? Do you keep the damaged engine going? Do you feather and shut down? Blue line at 200 feet are you getting a solid climb? If not look for a reasonable field and use the engine to control your glide into said field.
What are obstructions ahead like? Can you steer a course away from the obstructions? Will you outclimb them on one anyway? 200 feet you have to make a quick decision as you would at 50 feet!
Air below the plane and you have potential energy from the airframe to tap into! room to reduce AOA.
but this is the point you have a number of option not just doggedly going for a blue line come hell or high water as the training seems to concentrate on.
