putting myself in the CPL candidates shoes for a moment.
If an ATO does conduct a EFATO simulation at low altitude in conditions similar to the report. wouldn't the best course of action be for the candidate to abort the test apply full power and climb out?
what sort of reaction are you likely to get at the end of the assessment for doing that? obviously you might end up with an annoyed ATO for the rest of the flight, but are they likely to end the assessment there?
