Landing gear up—adequate climb performance. 12-20 As mentioned previously, if the airplane’s landing gear  retraction mechanism is dependent upon hydraulic pressure  from certain engine-driven pump, failure of that engine can  mean a loss of hundreds of feet of altitude as the pilot  either windmills the engine to provide hydraulic pressure to raise  the gear or raises it manually with a backup pump. When operating near or above the single-engine ceiling and  an engine failure is experienced shortly after lift-off, a landing  must be accomplished on whatever essentially lies ahead.  [Figure 12-12]  There is also the option of continuing ahead, in  a descent at V$_{YSE}$ with the remaining engine producing power,  as long as the pilot is not tempted to remain airborne beyond  the airplane’s performance capability. Remaining airborne  and bleeding off airspeed in a futile attempt to maintain  altitude is almost invariably fatal. Landing under control is  paramount. The greatest hazard in a single-engine takeoff  is attempting to fly when it is not within the performance  capability of the airplane to do so. An accident is inevitable. If the single-engine rate of climb is adequate, the procedures  for continued flight should be followed.  [Figure 12-13]  There are four areas of concern: control, configuration, climb,  and  checklist. The first consideration following engine failure during takeo ff  is to maintain control of the airplane. Maintaining direct ional control with prompt and often aggressive rudder application  and STOPPING THE YAW is critical to the safety of flight.  Ensure that airspeed stays above V$_{MC}$ If the yaw cannot be  controlled with full rudder applied, reducing thrust on the  Analysis of engine failures on takeoff reveals a very high  success rate of off-airport engine inoperative landings when the  airplane is landed under control. Analysis also reveals a very  high fatality rate in stall spin accidents when the pilot attempts  flight beyond the performance capability of the airplane. Figure 12-12.
