That also has some important safety factors involved. The pilot who pitches for blue line and doesnt get a climb is going to be fooled into thinking he is in a worse state than he is because blue line would realistically be below the figure he is slavishly transfixed with.

It is also relevant to trying to fly level at blue line with no climb and max power on the live engine.
Because its a speed above the true blue line speed infact the aircraft should fly level? or am I missing something again :-) because if it was flying the true blue line then there would be a positive climb.

But 71 KTS would take quite a bit of courage to go for and there would be so little airflow over the controls just imagine how much rudder and aeleron you would need for a given effect " yikes"
