What Factors affect Vmc?| Minimum Control Speed (Part 2)

This is Part 2 on Minimum Control Speed. Vmc is the speed at which the rudder looses the ability to offset the asymmetrical thrust produced by one engine being inoperative in a multi engine aircraft. This speed has a variety of factors affecting it. This video looks at those factors and discusses how they either increase or decrease the speed which rudder authority fails.

This video is not intended to be used for flight training purposes but rather to act as a informational guide. Consult a properly certified and authorized flight instructor for training and follow all FAA regulations pertaining to aircraft operation and training.
