V1, Vmcg relationship

timzsta-


"If V1 is greater, we reduce V1 to Vmcg."

Normally, V1 IS greater than Vmcg. When do you reduce it?
Assuming you're using "balanced field" V speeds, did you mean to say you reduce WEIGHT to cause V1 to reduce to Vmcg?

Lest we leave folks with the wrong impression, hotter temps and higher altitudes cause Vmcg to DECREASE. Lower density altitudes cause Vmcg to INCREASE.

Agreed?
