Can now anybody advise me whether it is in the limits of human capability to retard throttles quick enough to stay on the runway if an engine seizes (not just spools down!) at or just before Vmcg?
Specifically, in the cases 1) if the runway is 1) dry and 2) if it is wet?

Yes, it is within the limits of human capability. Otherwise, the aircraft would not be certified. There's verbiage like "pilot of normal skill" or something in the regs.

Vmcg would change depending on whether the runway is wet, dry, or contaminated. Either way the aircraft must be manageable.

But I bet it is not too far from the limits of an "average pilot".

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
That's great! That's just what I'm looking for.

You can gauge the reaction time between the engine going bang and the rudder being deflected. From bang to full deflection takes just over a second, which includes both reaction time and actual pedal input. (I roughly timed it by running the video at 1/5 speed.)

Doesn’t the A330 have some kind of Thrust Asymmetry Compensation that puts in rudder automatically in that case?
