ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Establish VYSE; if obstructions are present, establish best single-engine angle of climb speed (VXSE) or VMC +5 knots, whichever is greater, until obstructions are cleared. Then transition to VYSE.

Bottom line

OEI flight with the ball centered and the remaining engine providing any appreciable power is never correct due to the sideslip generated.
