pilot must leave the “dead” engine in zero thrust and not reduce its throttle before touchdown (simulating the reduction in drag from a feathered prop). To be safe, the two must work as a crew to advance power on both engines in the event of that previously described real-world go around.
I follow these personal minimums on presenting engine failures to protect you and your airplane. Multi-engine instruction is a very risky business, and I for one have a well-developed sense of self-preservation in addition to my concern for you and your airplane. As a pilot receiving instruction in your twin, I suggest you speak with your instructor to set similar boundaries before you fly.
If you want to practice more realistic engine failures during the takeoff roll and immediately after takeoff, that’s what simulators are for. In fact, if you have a favorite Flight Training Device-based or simulator-based training facility, let me know its name, location and contact information at mastery.flight.training@cox.net.
