KFIS,
Tomorrow you wake up with psychic abilities. You know that you will have an engine failure in your pawnee[?} precisely 30 seconds after take off. For some inexplicable reason you take off.
do you:
(1) keep it at 50 feet at a high speed until the 30 second mark, or:
(2) keep it in a best rate of climb until the 30 second mark, thence adopt the best glide speed.
The arguement can equally be applied to a twin - substitute the best glide with the Vyse.
that is a simple way to look at it, and was really what the discussion was originally about.

cs
PS - Tor - do you climb at blue line speed if you have 2 engines? Surely you climb at Multi engine Best rate...that gives max height in min time...unless your a/c they are one and the same?
