Even so, saying "if we get an engine failure before 200 ft I will close both throttles and land ahead" as a take-off brief in front of a CAA examiner was guaranteed to evoke a resonse along the lines of "You wouldn't really do that would you!!??"
Good question, cause I canīt think of a reason to land ahead if it is "only" an engine failure...

A 1981 B200 with just crew on board should be 500-800 lbs below MTOW even when topped off. And even the 3 bladed ones do climb away nicely IF you manage to feather the dead one, keep directional control and clean the airplane.

But that is quite a handful, as Noiffsorbuts suggested quite correctly...
