Fear

And pilots are supposed to anticipate that and control the
airplane at all times, pushing on the elevator as the power
is applied and getting aggressive with the trim. Done
correctly, a passenger would never know anything "special"
was happening. Similarly, an engine failure in a light twin
should have almost no visible yaw because the pilot will be
on the rudder with 150 pounds of push and the nose won't
hardly move.
