Which is,I believe ,what I said! I didn't really like your condescending tone though. I'd still like to point out that a single engine aircraft is NOT designed to continue climbing after an engine failure,and you were assuming it wasn't single engined. Blinkered,I'd say.
I see you have vast experience,but that doesn't give you a right to be rude.
End of rant.

He's a PPL student. I made the assumption that by 'professional pilots' he would be interested in multi-engined a/c(goes by 'multi-engine'...).
And I see your point that my reply was rude. My apologies.

Thanks for your nice reply. I'll make this the last on our banter,before being accused of taking over the thread!
Don't your racehorses have blinkers in the States? They are shields on the side of the horses eyes,so that the horse only sees ahead,presumably to avoid distractions from peripheral vision/spectator movement. Therefore "blinkered" means (in your case) answering without thinking about all the possibilities.
