AirDorrin: Multi-engine Ground School -
Lesson #3
Drag and VMC concepts; fly a
localizer back
course scenario
This lesson will ensure the pilot
understands and can explain VMC concepts and implications. The Drag
Demonstration will be performed by the instructor to emphasize the
effects of a properly executed engine out procedure, and the reasons
for each step performed.
The pilot will then practice the infrequently used ILS back-course
approach, after an engine has failed and been secured. Equipment
malfunction scenarios will be introduced, in preparation for future
lessons.

QUESTIONS
Vmc is the minimum airspeed at which directional control can
be maintained with the critical engine inoperative. How is this indicated on the airspeed indicator?
What are the FAA sets guidelines that aircraft
manufacturers must follow in determining Vmc speed? (Sally Makes Cakes For All U Men)
The critical engine is the
engine whose failure most adversely affects the performance and handling
qualities of the airplane. What factors contribute to determine which engine is critical?
How can you determine which engine is critical on a twin with couter-rotating propellers?
