Is this airfield so surrounded by schools, warehouses, highways, that there is nowhere suitable to put down without the final turn that comes unstuck? in that case the airfield should undergo some prompt removal of dangerous development. Enough to give a place to land straight ahead in case of EFATO. Years ago a light aircraft landed without causing damage on a roof near High Wycombe, when the pilot suffered a epileptic episode on approach, he was unable to see facing into the sun.

I have only flown gliders and single engine aircraft; having a look at the book of instruction that must be absorbed to fly this twin safely the second engine would only confuse me.
