Quite so! Well not for this little black duck.

A Vmca "departure" is a frightening experience. If mis-handling of the Vmca manoeuvre occurs and the aircraft departs controlled flight with full power on one engine, the following graphic description from the Beechcraft Baron B55 POH page 10-26 will ensure that your whole day will be ruined.

If this procedure is not followed and the airplane allowed to become fully stalled while on engine is providing lift-producing thrust, a rapid rolling and yawing motion may develop even against full aileron and rudder, resulting in the airplane becoming inverted during the onset of a spinning motion.

My answer is stuff that for a joke. If the examiner wants to take the Vmca demonstration right up to full rudder then he would be gone a million in a duty of care legal opinion - if he survives the spin.
