JT,
Yes, I was a little lax with my wording wrt the '5 degrees of bank'. You have addressed that; thank you.
The many facets of engine inoperative operations, on or near the runway at take off, come together, in a controlled environment, with '1 engine inoperative ferry flights'.
As far as 'performance' knowledge or training goes, it has been worrisome over the years to hear 'but it works in the simulator...'
So, if you say in reply; 'Yeah, but the simulator does not come with an accurate modelling of, say, rolling friction, ground effect, the aerody package is most probably pretty old...'
Blank looks.
We cannot let an in-depth knowledge of performance and what is and is not reality go out of the body of knowledge of our pilot community but how do we get that addressed?
Mind you, I am not saying it is all doom and gloom; I am just saying...fullstop.
