VMC DEMONSTRATION
A
VMC FLIGHT EFFECTS WILL BE DEMONSTRATED BY YOUR INSTRUCTOR
· Passengers are not to be carried
· Ensure that you have adequate altitude for recovery from an unusual attitude.
· Both engines must be developing power, one at idle, the other at maximum power.
· Allow the airplane to decelerate slowly while maintaining directional control.
· For an extra safety measure, use only half-rudder input. This will allow the symptoms of
VMC to be experienced at a speed higher than the actual VMC.
· Recover as soon as directional control cannot be maintained.
· Reduce the power on the operating engine, or reduce the pitch attitude, or both.
· Failure to recover at the first indication of VMC can lead to a spin.
