Instrument approach procedures with one engine inoperative.
Instrument approach procedures with one engine inoperative.
Bottom line
In OEI flight, no instrument directly tells the pilot that the airplane is being flown at zero sideslip. Aircraft Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) performance figures for OEI flight were determined at zero sideslip, although that fact may not be expressly stated in the manual or handbook.
Key numbers
| Number | What it means |
|---|---|
| about one-half of its diameter from center toward the operating engine at Vyse | Ball displacement |
| five to 10 degrees of bank to initially assist the rudder as the pitch attitude for Vyse is established | Initial failure bank |
| 5-degree bank during the Vmc demonstration, required for the practical test for a multiengine class rating | Vmc demo bank |
