Folks here is scenerio:
Part 23 light twin (Piper Apache)---- I am coming straight ahead to the runway with left engine out. Here is what i teach my students i tell them to request a trafic pattern so they have to turn into the good engine.
The reasons i give them is
1)banking into the good engine, you compensate asymmertrical thrust.
2) For every 1degree of bank into good engine you decrease the Vmc by 3 kts.
3)if you bank into the dead engine you might over bank, increase Vmc and lose controll of the airplane.
The other guys dont teach that and say that it doesnt matter what side you turn. Actually one guy wants you to turn into bad engine so we turn faster. Correct me if i am teaching wrong or they are teaching wrong. Thanks in advance.
