indicator.
Most airplanes
will not maintain
level
flight
at
speeds at
or
near Vmca.
Consequently,
it
is
not
advisable
to fly at speeds approaching
Vmca,
except
in
training situations
or during flight tests.
Adhering to the
practice
of
never
flying at or below
the
published
Vmc speed for your
aircraft
will
virtually
eliminate loss of directional
control as a
problem in the event of engine failure.
/NTENTIONAL
ONE-ENGINE /NOPERAT/VE SPEED
(Vsse)
Vsse
is
specified by the airplane
manufacturer
and is
the
minimum
speed at which to
perform
intentional
engine
cuts.
Use of Vsse is intended to reduce the
accident
potential
from loss of control
after
engine
cuts at or
near
minimum
control
speed.
Vmca
demonstrations
are necessary in training, but should
only be
made at
a safe altitude above the terrain and
with the power reduction on one engine
made
at or
above
Vsse.
