BPF.

My statement was probably a bit tongue in cheek and I will rephrase for clarity.

From that bunch, I would happily continue to climb away at blue line knowing that I will achieve a reasonable positive ROC.

It is true, all engine failures are emergencies and it is something I drill myself on for keeping current and ahead of the game.

You have selected the C421. This is not the best aircraft for practice EFAT
due shock loading G520's/reduction gearbox wear etc etc, but I still put myself through the paces with this ship nevertheless.
Full tanks, 4 POB, OAT 10c with simulated EFAT at 300ft, I was achieving 350ft - 450ft min ROC.
