I always thought one of the most charming features about the Airport in Puerto Jiminez Costa Rica was the Cemetery adjacent the Runway...
I was flying co-pilot in an old beat Navajo... loaded to the gills.... ... half of the dzus
fasteners were missing on the engine cowlings.. and a AAA battery powered early G.P.S. was duct taped to the control Yoke.
I am sure climb out on one engine would have been stellar if at all.
Never happened. Just be ready to chop power to both engines if one fails when operating out of the envelope, unless of course you prefer to roll inverted and crash and burn, or if you have enough speed limp along with the wing down into the good engine and push on the rudder... maybe you can successfully ditch it.. either way sooner or later your are going to land. Why wait?
The Old Over Loaded Navajo.
