That makes sense, thanks rickair7777.

Re: VmcG - The twin that I fly does not have a listed VmcG speed in the POH or AFM. Vr and Vmc are listed at 80 MPH, Vlof is 85 MPH and Vyse is 105 MPH. The PTSs state that engine-outs on the ground should be done at 50% of VMC. "ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF BEFORE VMC (SIMULATED-AMEL and AMES) - NOTE: Engine failure (simulated) shall be accomplished before reaching 50 percent of the VMC”. I understand the definition of VmcA, but the PTS does not specify VmcA or VmcG. Doesn't VmcG only apply to transport category airplanes? If it applies to light twins, anyone have a formula to calculate it?
