Re:Loss of one engine deadly near takeoff (Score 1)

For multi engine airplanes I totally agree, they exist precisely for situations like this, offering safety through redundancy. However single engine aircraft have an unsafe region between V1 (during takeoff roll when there isn't sufficient runway to come to a stop) and being at pattern altitude. Engine failure during this region results in the pilot not really having many good options. Often they can't turn around and land backwards on the runway because priority number 1 is maintaining safe airspeed. No runway to land ahead, best option is a road just outside the airport with about 20-30 seconds worth of altitude. Once at pattern altitude of approx 1000 ft it's a bit better, but not much. My Piper Arrow descends at 1000+ feet/min in landing config with gear down/throttle full back. During practice engine failures at pattern altitude of 1000 ft, it can be challenging to get the plane turned around 180 deg, lined up and safely on the ground. In a nutshell: uncontrolled traffic like drones need to follow the law and stay away from airports.
