Cosmo, it was in the classic. Been given it several times in LPCs at V1 and in initial climb out.

The yaw was strong, requiring full rudder and some aileron to keep straight. The climb out performance was terrible, so bad that I shut the effected engine down below 400ft to get it climbing. This resulted in a bollocking from the back and a repeat. Second time we did climb. Just.

One joker gave it to me with left reverser deployed, 35 knot left crosswind and 50ft emergency turn. Wasn't pretty but it did work. Just.

I wouldn't like to experience it for real.
