  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Engine Inoperative Flight Principles › ⦁ All propeller controls in the recommended takeoff position throughout VMC determination

    determination of VMC in certification is solely concerned with the minimum speed for directional control under a very specific set of circumstances, and not the optimum airplane attitude or configuration for climb performance. During dynamic VMC determination in aircraft certification ... cuts of the critical engine using the mixture control are performed by flight test pilots while gradually reducing the speed with each attempt. VMC is the minimum speed at which directional control could be maintained within 20° of the original…

    reducing the angle of attack as the throttle is retarded and return the airplane to the entry airspeed. Note that noise within the flight deck may mask the sound of the stall warning horn. While the VMC demonstration shows ... earliest onset of a loss of directional control when performed in accordance with the foregoing procedures, avoid a stalled condition. Avoid stalls with asymmetrical thrust, such that the VMC demonstration does not degrade into a single-engine stall…

  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Engine Inoperative Flight Principles › Derivation of VMC

    They also describe the conditions used to determine the manufacturer's published speed. Historically, in aircraft certification, dynamic VMC has been determined under the following conditions outlined in historical 14 CFR part 23, section 23.149: ⦁ Maximum available takeoff power initially ... each engine (section 23.149(b)(1)). VMC increases as power is increased on the operating engine. With normally aspirated engines, VMC is highest at takeoff power and sea level, and decreases with altitude. With turbocharged engines, takeoff power, and therefore…

    best rate of climb speed—speed at which the airplane gains the most altitude for a given unit of time. ⦁ VYSE —best rate of climb speed with OEI. Marked with a blue radial line on most airspeed indicators. Above ... single-engine absolute ceiling, VYSE yields the minimum rate of sink. ⦁ VSSE —safe, intentional OEI speed—originally known as safe single-engine speed. It is the minimum speed to intentionally render the critical engine inoperative. ⦁ VREF —reference landing speed…

    Authorization for ferry flight with one engine inoperative. (a) General. The holder of an air carrier operating certificate or an operating certificate issued under part 125 may conduct a ferry flight of a four-engine airplane or a turbine-engine ... powered airplane equipped with three engines, with one engine inoperative, to a base for the purpose of repairing that engine subject to the following: (1) The airplane model has been test flown and found satisfactory for safe flight in accordance…
