Which is why I cited the current FAR23 requirement. The average piston twin at commercial weights and a failure below Vyse (with the associated configuration) and a couple of hundred feet under your belt .. probably isn't going anywhere in a hurry .. other than down.
Exactly my point (which I didn't express very well). Under these circumstances its pretty much the luck of the draw. I did my initial twin training at YMMB. If you were 'lucky' enough to have it happen to you taking off on RWY 35, you have a nice golf course straight ahead. If it happens on RWY 17, well, you're pretty much screwed.
I think lamax is on the money. .. the post represents the voice of a LOT of experience. And the voice of reason I'd say.
