DA42 VMC Demonstration & Recoveries - MEP Training | ATC Audio

In this lesson we depart Coventry Airport and look at the effects on a multi-engine piston aircraft with velocity of minimum control (VMC) and how its effected by power settings from each engine along with how rolling 5 degrees to the live engine improves VMCA. It was a really interesting lesson after reading about this during my ATPL exams and to fly a VMC demonstration was great fun!

Lovely hearing about the technical aspects of the da42 , in the ask21 we have Vne speeds naturally , interesting to compare these

[@garydell2023]

Enjoyed the video Ben. Brought back fond memories of my twin training. Look forward to the next video on engine loss on takeoff. Fly safe.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks, Gary!

[@pbbrown1963]

Good training! Thanks, Ben!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Cheers Paul!

[@CAXAviation]

Top quality video as always. Looks like everyday WILL have to be leg day when I do my ATPL 😂

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks for watching, it’s definitely harder than it looks!

[@DeadReckoner]

Thanks Ben - I'm doing this lesson today at Aeros Gloucester. Your videos have been really helpful! I'm filming my flight today, but I doubt I'll beat your 64kt!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Haha awesome hope you had a good flight!

[@iTechno8]

Great video mate, cheers from Pakistan

[@thomaspauly9514]

which check list did you use, it seemed not the Diamond original Thomas

[@garymcleanuk]

Last 2 videos Steve's Mentioned your Shades :-) I think hes on to something ;-) Great video as always

[@PlaneOldBen]

Haha eventually I had to wear an instrument hood so I was ok!

Love ur channel!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you!

[@MrBeastFanAccount123]

Ur very welcome

[@MrBeastFanAccount123]

How much did ur flight school cost

[@srg1030]

Hey Ben,
Great video as always! Just a quick one, as you're training with Aeros, are you doing the Aeros Fast track?
And also when you finish your training will you be issued an ATPL license or a Frozen ATPL License or a CPL?
Thanks!

[@NeTfLeXr6s]

You'll never be issued a Full ATPL without 1500 hours of which 500 needs to be on a Jet >19,5 tons MTOW. As he finished his ATPL theory he'll get a CPL(IR) with MEP -> "frozen ATPL"

[@stefanobertoldo3622]

sorry, maybe I didnt see it correctly...but where is the vmc demostration and recovery?

[@danturnerr]

Great video Ben! Just like mine lol ;)

[@PlaneOldBen]

Well done on your first solo!!

[@OllyJ2k9]

Waheeyyyy

Why when the airspeed dropped below red line (vmc) the aircraft remained still controllable?

[@andresmedia8118]

Cause he was coordinated

[@igclapp]

Vmc is not a fixed speed. It depends on several factors. In this case, they "failed" the non-critical engine (the right engine). "Published" Vmc (the red line marked on the airspeed indicator) is based, among other things, on the critical engine failing. Since the non-critical engine "failed", this will give a Vmc lower than if the critical engine failed. Also their density altitude was above sea level and this would lower Vmc as well. In addition, their CG may have been forward of the CG used to determine published Vmc and their weight may have been more than that used to determine published Vmc, both of which would lower Vmc.

[@willcrowther4723]

great video ben :) are you planning on joining an airline once you have completed your training?

[@PlaneOldBen]

Sure am!

[@adamcozens8673]

@@PlaneOldBen do you know what airline you want to work for?
