VMCA? I’m not familiar with this abbreviation.

I am aware that simply quoting the title brings to mind multiple factors such as aircraft type, etc etc; however I am just trying to string together some basis for my project.

Something which is important to me is defining engine failure after takeoff. From brakes release to the minimum safety altitude. Surely then turning back with such a height to land reciprocal, given adequate / satisfactory wind velocities etc, would be an option?

Any opinions here?
