I don’t like to be reconfiguring, securing engines, running EPs, etc in close proximity to the ground unless it’s VERY necessary.
edit: just realized you said part 121. My bad. Anyway, I’ll leave my line of thinking as food for thought.
I did not know an engine failure in a hornet was even an emergency! Of chose having only a 5000 FPM rate of climb single engine at landing weights can be a issue!
