ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Establish the best engine-inoperative airspeed and trim the airplane.

Bottom line

Maintain directional control with rudder and aileron and assume the pitch attitude for Vyse. Assume the bank angle and ball position for zero sideslip and maintain the best climb rate at Vyse. In the absence of a yaw string, the suggested zero sideslip configuration at Vyse for most light twins is approximately two to three degrees of bank toward the operating engine.
