Before this subject degrades to Airbuses -

5* towards live engine, approx half ball deflection, dead engine feathered, Vy, gear up.
Since there's no guaranteed perf for twins under 5700kg (except 1% at 5000ft ISA gear
up, eng feathered,Vy, max cont) which means the inevitable prang will be about a mile
further along than had the feather and gear etc not been taken care of). (Reference -
Gove prang C402 circa late 70s).

Same with jets except you DO have a guaranteed perf in the 2nd seg with bits hanging
out. In the 737 it was still half ball deflection IIRC till end of 4th segment.


..I understand John the Wombat was a real handful
with a No 1 cut at VMCG - including full left aileron!
