AMA has not thought this one out....Law of Unintended Consequences will often apply....i.e. takeoff weight of 55 lbs with 2.5 gallons of fuel and 50 lbs thrust....one quits.....that leaves 25 lbs effective thrust...wrong!....more like 18-20 lbs...remember, you always lose more than 50% effective thrust when one quits on a twin due to sideslip angle, control surface deflection to maintain straight and level flight, increased drag thru the dead engine intake, and complicated further if gear and takeoff flaps are down.....net result....low altitude stall-spin in many cases with one engine running at full bore and 2.5 gallons of kero on board.......just what that AMA is trying to avoid.....

We should encourage the AMA to re-think this one....perhaps allow a special maximum thrust waiver for that elite group of superb pilots that build and fly these $25,000+ twin-turbine museum pieces......
