    What I was saying is that the King Air will climb happily on one engine, provided the pilot feathers the prop on the dead engine and
    cleans the thing up ie get the gear up. With the gear out, the only way is down and if the speed washes off a turn to the dead engine is
    inevitable. Its not hard to press the button and get a call out while you are doing this, but the fact remains the gear was not up otherwise the nose wheel would not have broken off and bounced on to the freeway.
