Every time Ive tried to rush in an aircraft it hasn't made things happen any faster (or easier). I also feel less effective and more stressed.

I get in the Sim at work as often as possible and spend the entire time in worst case scenarios. The more I practice the quicker and easier it becomes, and the more time I seem to find simply by being more proficient and confident with the procedure.

I also like what Bob Hoover said about airspeed and twin performance. Breaking it down he said If you've got and keep the former, then you'll get the latter. Im sure many of you will have seen this, but watch this vid for the way he's handling the feather and shutdown.

I find it helps to have selected any possible landing areas prior to the roll and Il mention them in the TOSB. There's usually a preferable way to turn even if its only a slight change to heading (terrain, buildings, wind etc) . Another time saver.
