A hypothetical situation, and a doubt

In a smaller plane (light twin) the available power is not adequate to
perform a go-around on one engine with adequate safety margins, and you
must get it down, even if you break it. In a transport plane with two
engines, it is perfectly possible, but you must weigh the risk to benefit
ratio, and maximize crew resource management to make sure everything is
done by the book. In a 747 you should hardly notice any performance loss.

Scuse me.. I'm not a multi driver... let alone a 747 pilot...
but if I lost 25 percent of my power I think that I would notice some
performance loss...
