Just to be really pedantic you can't do a CPL test in a Warrior. I looked up the aircraft and it was an Arrow. I wonder what position the undercarriage was in.

Max angle climb, was there an obstacle?

But to pull an EFATO at 50 feet? Not something I would do on a test or in training unless there was sufficient runway remaining plus a lot
more for luck.

I once saw an ATO fail the left engine in a twin commanche with a whopping left crosswind at about the same height. The result was not pretty and the ATO allegedly blamed the student.

And I have been PIC on every flight test I have conducted as an ATO, are you referring to the proposed removal of liability which caused a fair bit of angst over Part 61?
