Vmca vs Vmcg

On the B747 series, Vmcg is higher than Vmca by about 5 or 6 knots.

It's a certification thing. Remember "3 to 5 to the live" when you did your first twin rating???

The advantage gained by the bank angle/sideslip ought to mean that most aircraft Vmca figures are less than their Vmcg.
