Default A hypothetical situation, and a doubt

Turbine powered airplanes can make single-engine missed
approaches, some piston engined twins can also. Gross
weights above 6,000 pounds require positive climb on one
engine. But even if you can't do a missed approach, you're
no worse off than you'd be in a single in the same place.

| On takeoff, one of your engines sucks in a bird or simply
fails, and

etc. but in
| returning for a landing, there occurs a situation during
finals - you
| somehow botch up the approach or some unexpected weather
is encountered
| - which in normal circumstances would've warranted a
go-around. Since
| you can't do that now with one engine, how would you
salvage the
| situation?
|
| No "I'm good enough never to screw up approaches" for an
answer, thanks
