WHY LRC NOT Vmd(MRC)?
thanks for the inputs vilas and framer but the question remains why LRC and not Vmd. I understand different scenarios demand different speeds altitudes etc. But my main concern is all the checklists I hv recntly referred to mention selcting LRC for engine out cruise. I wish to know why LRC and not Vmd(MRC)which is the ideal speed for maximum range...does it have something to do with the fact that LRC gives 4 % higher speed over MRC and thereby reducing the time penalty?? which also brings to mind how EDTO states time limits from landing area and not range?? what is the role of time in all this??
