Q

Far 23 VMC (how does Vmc change with these variables)

A

Engine - sea level/ lowers with height - Max power takeoff/ lowers with less speed - Critical Engine inop/ lowers - Critical Engine Windmilling/ lowers
Configuration - trim for takeoff/ NA - Cowl for takeoff/ NA - Flaps for takeoff/ NA - Landing gear retracted/ extended gear decreases Vmc
Aerodynamics - airplane in ground effect/ NA - up to 5 degrees bank toward op engine/ increases if not banked - most unfavorable CG/ greater arm means greater rudder authority which lowers VMC - max takeoff weight/ Vmc increases with weight
