Vmc is not really bank angle dependent.
Any manufacturer which chooses to use less than 5 degrees of bank, and any certification authority which will not accept 5 degrees of bank at Vmc are not using the certification standards as envisaged by the authors.
Vmc is simply a well defined certification speed.
Nobody has mentioned if the AFM Vmc has been determined as a static Vmc or dynamic Vmc. How would you know?
Some posters here probably would be astounded at the minimum speed which can be safely reached using no rudder and only bank to control yaw in an engine inoperative situation - assuming stalling is not a problem.
It can be safe to fly many aircraft around, one engine inoperative, take-off power on the other, at speeds well below Vmc. The speed reached in these circumstances is not Vmc - that speed has already been defined during certification.
It is simply a defined certification speed, for the reason of hanging oeio performance standards together.
It has nothing to do with the "loss of control speed".
If you are flying at around Vmc and are thinking you may lose control, not about to stall, roll on more bank, could be better than the alternative!
