An example
The situation: a 2 AM takeoff from a Middle Eastern airport (but not an oil-rich one), engine fails (non-recoverable) at Vr, and the captain has been warned against OEI return & approach to this airfield because of unreliable power (lighting) at this site.
A more reliable airfield is a 90 minute hop away.
Where is the lesser risk? Fly the circuit and hope the approach lighting behaves? Or set sail for the better-run airfield?
