- 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…
- Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › V-Speeds
Airplane Takeoff and Climb The following information is generic in nature and, since most civilian jet airplanes require a minimum flight crew of two pilots, assumes a two-pilot crew. If any of the following information conflicts with FAA-approved ... center or pilot school curriculum, the FAA-approved procedures for that operator and/or training center/pilot school take precedence. V-Speeds The following are speeds that affect the jet airplane’s takeoff performance. The jet airplane pilot should understand…
- Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Engine Inoperative Flight Principles › Derivation of VMC
Engine Inoperative Flight Principles There are two main considerations for OEI operations—performance and control. Multiengine pilots learn to operate the airplane for maximum rate of climb performance at the blue radial indicated airspeed by training to fly without sideslip ... Pilots also learn to recognize and recover from loss of directional control associated with the red radial indicated airspeed by performing a VMC demonstration. Since the object of a VMC demonstration is not performance, sideslip occurs during the maneuver. Detailed…

once hydroplaning starts, it can continue well below the minimum initial hydroplaning speed. On wet runways, directional control can be maximized by landing into the wind. Abrupt control inputs should be avoided. When the runway is wet, anticipate braking problems ... ineffective, so aerodynamic braking should be used to its fullest advantage. Figure 11-18. Tire pressure. Takeoff Performance The minimum takeoff distance is of primary interest in the operation of any aircraft because it defines the runway requirements. The minimum…
