Rated on a light single... so trying to get my head around EFATO in a complex twin.
Firewall the live engine, then retract flaps, and if you have enough presence of mind, start the gear cycling.
Wouldn't you sink due to sudden reduction in camber with flaps retracting?
Isn't that a problem if you're 100 - 200 feet AGL?
Or would the several seconds the flaps take to retract from say flaps 10 (which I assume is around the takeoff setting in the B200) be offset by the spool up of the live engine to max thrust - which on a PT6 I assume is next to instantaneous.
Just asking.
