Close the throttles smoothly and promptly when a simulated engine failure occurs.

Bottom line

The prudent multiengine pilot should pick a decision point in the takeoff and climb sequence in advance. If an engine fails before this point, the takeoff should be rejected, even if airborne, for a landing on whatever runway or surface lies essentially ahead. Loss of directional control may be experienced at speeds almost 20 knots above published Vmc when the wings are held level.
