jollyboy,
.. other way around ..
CG usually has a very powerful effect on directional control .. other things being equal, one would expect the lowest real world Vmcg at the forward limit and highest at the aft limit. What this means is that minV1, being based on aft CG, has a higher margin above the real Vmcg at the forward limit. Idealised, the forward CG failure is a doddle while the aft failure is full of huff and puff sweating, beating of breasts, turning of control yokes and pushing of rudder bars .. and, not infrequently, the odd expletive from the handling pilot.
In simulator exercises intended to expose students to something approximating worst case, I used to work back from
(a) typical weight mid CG, to
(b) min weight forward CG to get down to minV1 but with less critical handling, and then progressively
(c) move the CG back to the aft limit.
On one box, the operator had programmed in a wonderful (large) bird strike based on an inflight event and using the FDR history (if I recall correctly, in this case the event involved the bird going down the gullet and doing dreadful things to the BRT .. in any case, this failure event always got the attention of the folk up front .. especially when we hit the button accidently during cruise, but that's another tale altogether) ...
I figured that if the guys and gals could handle a box event with
(a) min weight
(b) max aft CG
(c) the bird strike half way through the rotation flare (I tried to make it swing just as the visual cutoff angle went above the horizon)
and then
(d) backtrack the opposite LLZ for the departure ...
then they could handle any failure .. any time ... anywhere.
It was wonderful to see the confidence grow in the front seats ... I can recall one initial command chap who came across as being a bit superior ... after this particular session he 'fessed up that he never had been comfortable with engine failures .. maybe even a little frightened by them .. but now ... no problems at all .. one of those days I went back to the pub with a spring in my step. Then again he had done a LOT of practice failures during that session ..
