Question Vmca and Vmcg

I am embarking on my next stage of career. .development - my multi instructors rating and getting a simple answer is becoming difficult please clarify.... .. .My current twin knowledge and what I was taught by a very experienced instructor was that vmca and we did plenty of 'em , that it is where the a/c is at it's max all up weight most aft centre of gravity with 5 degrees towards the live engine with the critical engine inoperative with flaps at the take off configuration and gear down... .. .I said to my very experienced insrtuctor this is the definition of Vmcg NOT Vmca "No no he replies it can't be!!!" is Vmca with gear down or not because in my dodgy atp notes it says gear up....who do I listen to? 10000hrs of experience or dodgy atp notes and my 8oo hrs of single flying? thanks dd. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 05 March 2002, 19:05: Message edited by: dynamite dean ]</small>
