So, can we agree that V1 should not be called below Vmcg in a B737?
well, basicly of course yes. V1 or above by regulations ist the speed where you
must continue the take off. and how do you want to manage this when you are still below vmcg and simply not able to hold the aircraft on the runway with a failure on the one side and toga on the other?
I thought I'd do the relatively anonymous thing and ask the PPRUNE Tribe for thoughts before I go beyond annoying a few instructors.
no, i dont think you will annoy them when you go for an open discussion about this and ask about their opinion . the same should be true when you ask your captain in a calm minute at cruise .
but i can only recommend you not to go with the attitude that they are wrong because you confirmed this by pprune.
