Final Approach
The link cited at least one example. I didn't bother verifying if it's still in the FAA database.

from the above link:
"The initial climb rate of the Lancer 402 was just 642 feet/minute, and its single engine altitude could only be maintained down to 2,000 feet msl. So, an engine out below this figure resulted in descent even with full power on the operating engine, and a quick look for a suitable emergency landing field. One has to question whether this aircraft design with fixed pitch props could even be type certificated now..."
This guy had the potential to kill a lot of lawyer and maybe some doctors. Horrible perfomance.
