Hi DFC
I guess I will bite to your post although I was going to stop as it was off topic to the the rest of it.
In the US and Canada we also roll into the good engine a maximum of 5deg and that initial roll whilst flying fast enough not to worry about VMc will be accomplished using aieleron and contolled rudder. The ball will be half out of the track as they like to say.
If however you so happen to be flying slow for whatever reason and try to control the the increased roll rate whilst approaching VMc with aieleron you will only make the matter worse.
It will eventually lead to an aggressive roll toward the inoperative engine, at which point or sensibly before hand: reduce power to idle, pitch for blue line, return aircraft to correct flight attitude and then smooth addition of power should be carried out.
You also seem to be confused about engine out ops and VMc, control of the aircraft whilst opertaing with an engine out is for all intents and purposes the same as with all of them working. VMc on the other hand occurs after the aircraft has been treated incorrectly either from pilot error or from other factors beyond his control whilst the aircraft is operating with engine(s) out.
The ground school teacher I had during my conversion and whilst sitting in his principals of flight class, was trying to convince me that it was fine to use aeileron during VMc, to which I said politely that that was not correct.
If you so wish to use your aielrons during VMc, please advise me of where and when you fly and I will oblige by not being anywhere near by, as the VMc accident pictures I have seen are not very pretty.
I really do not want to carry on the conversation on VMc as it is detracting from what the topic is about on the thread. So if you want to carry it on I can start a new thread and you can expalin all about your feathered engine VMc demos.
I am also not sure how many times I can say it I was never equating stalls to VMc. I also do not think in the post were I wrote about Vmc anything like that was written, I could be wrong but the way I read my post that was not how it sounded.
