Question

mutt,john, Thanks
I am reading at definition Vmcg:
Ground minimum control speed is the minimum airspeed at which the aircraft can lose an engine during takeoff roll with the remaining engines at takeoff thrust and can maintain directional control by use of full rudder deflection with NO
nosewheel steering.
As DC9 little pilot I didn't read anything about Vmcg-probably because of tail mounted engines.
If you lose engine before Vmcg-lets say at 100 Kts-can you use steering?
If you are too light on 747,you can use derate thrust, V1 will be higher,but still I dont see practicaly what that means


Thanks in advance..
