Not necessarily true. There are tones of airports that have NO single engine departure that are specific to it. Yes, we may brief what we are going to do in the event of a failure, but there may not be any specific documented procedure. Take a look at LAX. Blasting out of the the water, there is NO reason to have one. Now RNO, SLW, OAX on the other hand........
