I know of an identical situation at 32L/T10 with a check airman doing a line check...he let them get as far as accepting Po&Ho before intervening. They did an RTG, and the crew got some additional training before being allowed back on line. basically they got real busy and forgot...but they would have realized ther mistake real quick, even without the check airman.
I hear what your saying. I was hoping that someone active at TSA would chime in with more concrete details. Anyways, T/O S/E is probably not the best idea.
However, something in the back of my mind tells me that there are actually performance numbers for a single-engine takeoff in a Beechcraft Queen Air. Can't say for sure though, that aircraft was well before my time.
