Twin take off on one engine?

I'm wondering if it's legal? I'm referring to a recent crash where the
pilot decided to take off on one engine and clipped a tree.

Looking over 91.205, you can't take off with out a magnetic compass.. but
it doesn't say anything about one engine out of two.

You'll find the limitations in the pilot operating handbook: the fars
demand you observe those handbook limitations.

The POH seems to me the ultimate source of wisdom indeed. But what
is/are fars? Something USA-specific, probably?

He meant to type "fear". Fear demands you observe handbook limitations.
Otherwise you will not go very far.

Jan asked what seems to me to be a serious question and got nothing but
a stupid answer.

Jan... the original answer would have been a bit more clear if it had
stated "the FARs" meaning the USofA Federal Aviation Regulations.

Perhaps it was a serious question, but I have observed Jan to post the
occasional sardonic and tongue-in-cheek messages, so I assumed this was
another one. Here are a few of Jan's past postings that made me assume
he knew what was intended by "fars" and probably wasn't being serious:

And what's your prefered way to go?
City gas? Strangling in nylon hose?
Engine failure on take-off? Poison?
Veins cut while immersed in hot bath?

And, err, what have you to offer for barter?
Better than nylon hose, I hope?

PS while you're at version 2.0, some spelling check wouldn't hurt
either. To begin with "if you're interested"" ...
Keep up the good work!

Actually, it is theoretically possible to do so, given enough runway to
attain single-engine rate-of climb prior to liftoff.

Simply making VMC won't suffice, unless you have enough excess power to
make it to the higher speed.

That would be 91.213 Inoperative instruments & equipment.

Of course, if there happens to be an approved minimum equipment list that
says that single engine takeoff is OK...

So I gather from all this that we can't find anything that says you "can't
take off" in the FARs?

I remember reading about a publicity stunt some manufacturer did back
in the 70s where they flew their aircraft a few hundred miles with one
of the props completely unattached to the aircraft/engine. I think it
was the Aero Commander 500, IIRC.
