I think the gentleman with the suggestion that there is a difference between Vmcg and Vmca has the winner. With Vmca some bank angle is allowed were as Vmcg it almost all rudder.

Also take into account that with a Vref of 117 the actual touch down would be less, say about 112 kts and this in short order becomes will below Vmcg. In addition Vmcg is the sudden loss of thrust and then being able to control, recognize the situation and making the correct reaction.

Yee old DC-9-10 was a handfull at Vmcg.
