My type has Vmcg speeds for consideration in perf planning


Ground minimum control speed is the minimum
speed during the takeoff run at which the aircraft’s engine
most critical to the directional control can fail with the
remaining engines operating at selected thrust and still
maintain directional control. Additionally, a deviation of no
more than xx feet from the ground path originally intended
can result, using the elevator, aileron, spoiler, rudder controls,
nose wheel steering on a dry hard surface runway,
with a 1 second pilot reaction time. The diminished advantage
of nose wheel steering will be considered on wet, icy,
or austere runways. Ground minimum control speed during
rotation is calculated assuming no credit for nose wheel
steering.
