SMACFUM- The conditions that affect VMC,
Sea level pressure-increases VMC
Max power on the operating engine-Increases VMC
Aft legal C.G-Increases VMC
Critical engine Wind milling-Increases VMC
Flaps/gear down-decreases VMC
Up to 5 degrees of bank into operating engine-Decreases VMC
Most unfavorable weight-A lighter airplane has a higher VMC than heavier airplane
YUM-YUM
I use SMACFUM too but add PAT at the end. Props forward, Airborne & out of ground effect, and trimmed for takeoff.
Also, for teaching SMACFUM I would say flaps up / gear up to increase VMC (as long as were talking 23.149).
