Hmmm... Engine out, above MLW... Where's the "safety" in that?!?

If I were management, I'd sure find fault with that! What is your go-around performance under those conditions
The "safety" in that is not burning holes in the sky for three hours on a single engine whilst you wait to get below max landing weight. Go-around perfromance under those conditions is perfectly adequate, unless the temperature is above about 45C and the elevation is above 5000ft, in which case we'd just have to use a lower flap setting. Its a good job you're not management!
