If the good engine hasn't given up on me, why should I give up on it? The power it is producing might be the difference in safely landing in a field, pasture, etc. versus dying in trees, powerlines, houses. If you are trained properly for flying a twin, then flying on one engine is not letting the airplane control the crash...throttling back and making the airplane a several thousand pound glider is.
Let me make this easier for you. Slower airspeed (transition for landing) aircraft barely flying as is, probably a high pitch attitude, high power setting (obviously as stated before we are trying to climb) = Probably more rudder than you got, which tada = aircraft crashed and upside down on runway (stall) or aircraft crashed upside down off the side of the runway (loss of directional control). Closing the throttle and dead sticking it in solves it all. If it wont climb then you have to eat the sh89 on your plate and deal with it. As far as obstructions and stuff that you were talking about, probably should have planned for those to begin with. But I wouldnt expect an amatuer to look that far ahead.
