It's use would relieve some leg work, but should be adjusted to neutral for take off. DISPLACEMENT OF THE TAB WILL REDUCE RUDDER EFFECTIVENESS, if not in trail; thereby increasing Vmc. There would also be the trim drag penalty. Hope this helps. BTW, You should have known this for your initial multi. So much for quicki multi's. Good luck



To the OP: an MEI needs to be able to clearly teach/explain the 4 factors that make up a critical engine, and certification of Vmc (23.149) and why each factor is important.

You lose an engine right after take off, you're going to pitch for blue line (wing down, ball deflected) and trim right?
