Engine Failure After Takeoff - Light Twin Engine Aircraft

Text

Definitions

Asymmetric Thrust - An asymmetric power condition which exists when the net centre of thrust of a multi-engined aircraft is laterally displaced from the net centre of drag. In layman’s terms, a wing mounted engine has failed.

Light Twin Engine Aircraft - A twin engine aircraft under 5700kg MTWO. For the purposes of this article, twin engine centre-line thrust aircraft are not considered

Additional Definitions

Vmcg - Minimum control speed on the ground - the minimum airspeed at which the aircraft is directionally controllable during acceleration along the runway with one engine inoperative, takeoff power on the operative engine(s), and with nose wheel steering (if installed) assumed inoperative.
