Many good advices here to improve the chances of succeeding with a forced landing after EFATO; Always use all available runway is one thing, and climb at Vy to gain as much height as possible on the shortest amount of time after takeoff.

But what about flaps settings at takeoff? I was taught to take off with flaps on 10 on our C172... I was also taught that if the engine quits over runway, and its possible to land on remaining runway - the immidiate action should be nose down, throttle out, full flaps...

What is your opinions regarding take off with flaps vs. without flaps, when it comes to give better margins of succeeding with a forced landing after EFATO?

(Sorry my poor english)
