Quote: Just my .02: All multi AC have a published VMC (the blue line). This is determined by the manufacturer during the most unfavorable conditions ie windmilling propeller of the critical engine ect. This is not disputable........
Not so fast.

Just as Vmc (red radial line, not the blue line) is a certification number and not a fixed value, so is blue line (best single engine rate of climb).

You may be confusing Vmc with Vyse.

Not all multi engine aircraft have a blue or red line.

Mr. Burke is correct red line not blue, typo error.... for all multi AC that have a published Vmc. Vmca (actual) will usually be lower.
