Unhappy

I’m pleased we all agree that speed it is.


I think you've misunderstood either the original thread or the replies on this one.

The original thread was about: "do you prefer to maintain a higher than BROC-speed OR to use that energi that will be used for this acceleration to gain height" (In the T/O).

I guess we'll all agree that *speed-controll* is essential if suffering an enginefailure in a light piston twin. If you maintain S/E BROC-speed and your functioning engine runs at MCP you'll get the most climb (or the least decend ) possible.

Therefore the answer is (for my part): No - I dont want the extra speed, I want the extra height. I want to accelerate to blueline speed and the climb untill safe altitude has been reached without further acceleration.
