thankyou captain, very well explained

[@skyshots1685]

That is a great explanation sitting perf exam next week so appreciate this ! I kept getting confused

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Glad to read this!

[@Ozzychess]

love you man... your classes really helped me pass MET exam.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

I'm glad my effort helped you!

That's the best explanation I could ever understand....Thanks alot sir

I'm glad you liked the video!! Don't hesitate to ask me any questions when watching the rest of the videos. Have a great day!

[@jeremychin1761]

Great, simple, clear explanation of VMCG regardless if you're flying a multi-engine piston or a 747-8! Blue skies and happy landings. - 747-8 Captain

Hello, do you have a video explaining the 4 segments? I hope I get recall soon that’s why I am self studying, regards.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Hey, I don't have a video about Takeoff segments, that's another great idea for a future video. I wish you a great day

great explanation. THANKS!!!

Thanks Cap

Helpful video!

[@thaile217]

Please make a video to clarify the difference between RNAV and RNP approach Captain. As always thank you very much.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Many thanks for watching !!! I will do more videos about RNAV and RNP soon! Stay Tuned!

[@mi-789]

Thanks for the video! Can you please explain how does a lower Vmcg allow higher takeoff weight? I'm trying to get my head around the fixed derates topic and that's why I ended up here 😅 Appreciate your time and effort.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

You are more than welcome! As far as I'm aware the usually the Weight won't affect much the Vmcg. What can affect the Vmcg is the Center of gravity position. The only thing that I can think of regarding the Weight and vmcg relation is that an heavier aircraft will have less yawing momentum should an engine failure occur. Let me know if you have more questions.

[@jeremychin1761]

Reducing the minimum control speeds sometimes improves takeoff performance (higher Max Takeoff Weight MTOW), when taking off on a short runway. V1 decision speed is the maximum speed at which it is still possible to reject the takeoff and stop the aircraft within the runway limits. As stated in the video, V1 must be greater than VMCG, and the “Accelerate-Stop Distance” is often the most constraining limitation on a short runway. A reduction in VMCG then permits a reduction in the ASD for a specific takeoff weight, and can improve takeoff performance when the MTOW (without derate) is ASD/VMCG- limited. (I'm a 777/747 Captain)

[@suprim-21]

why we must not use controls like thrust, brakes and steering during Vmcg determination?

[@hupahupa1905]

Salve capitano..per collegarsi a questo video molto interessante può fare un video sul fattore P dell elica !!? Penso si possa collegare a questo video Grazie cap Gabriele

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Ciao, grazie per il commento e per la visione del video, terro'il tuo consiglio in considerazoine. Ti auguro una buona giornata!

[@samuelcv6565]

nex topic , why derate increase payload on short and contaminated RWYs(vmcg) ....:)? And why we cannot use assume temperature on those RWYs?..:) Have a nice day

Hey, I'll take your suggestion into consideration for a future content

Hi could you do a video on VMCA

@@PILOTCLIMB awesome thanks! International flying so I'm learning a bunch of ICAO rules and terms. Like ICAO holding speeds and American holding speeds are different etc

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Hey, i hope you are great! I just posted the VMCA video.. let me know if you have any question👍

[@mertgumus4927]

So let’s say we are using TOGA thrust and VMCG is 110, while V1 is 115 kts. If there is an engine failure at 105 kts which will lead to a rejected takeoff, I understand that for the first few seconds while the live engine is retardin to idle, even “full rudder deflection” will not be sufficient to keep the centerline. we have to use the NWS, and/or asymmetrical braking to keep the A/C aligned. Do you agree?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Your example is great, however, normally we don't use the NWS during a rejected takeoff. It is very important to cut the engine's power very quickly if you experienced an engine failure before V1(especially on narrow runways). That is why the Captain has his hand on the throttle during the take-off roll. By quickly reducing the power (in case of an engine failure) especially at low speed you make sure that you can control the plane. Let me know if I answered your question.

[@mertgumus4927]

@@PILOTCLIMB I am satisfied, thank you captain. In Airbus A320, rudder pedals also command the NWS up to 130 kts (gradually decreasing effect as speed increases) that is why I have mentioned it. I have also checked the MEL of NWS, which the operational procedures really made sense now. (limitations about narrow runways, crosswinds etc.)

[@steffenleo5997]

Good Day Capt Gabriele, Is it true If we takeoff from longer runway we may reduce our takeoff thrust example from 24K to 20K but if we takeoff from shorter runway we might only reduced to 22K ?.If we assumed same temperature and pressure for both condition

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Hey, many thanks for watching!! Well the take-off power depends on the weather and on the engine model..

[@alialamdarbukhari]

Just so that I am clear about it. If the critical engine failure happens below Vmcg, the rudders are not as effective in maintaining directional control. Therefore, the pilot would have to use other methods (such as steering the aircraft with the tiller or adjusting engine thrust of the engine operating accordingly). So wouldn't that make RTO more complicated below Vmcg?

[@farxadalizade599]

Hi cap, when Vmcg can be more than V1? Is it possible?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Vmcg should always be lower than V1, have a great day

[@rohrichoak9740]

Hey. Does TOGA "know" what thrust is to be applied based on FMC data or is it standard full or next to full power?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Many thanks for watching, the TOGA will provide you with the thrust you set on the FMC. (if the A/T is engaged)

[@0RespectMyAuthority0]

TOGA is determined by the fadec

[@ashrafulhoque5627]

Hey , can I increase full thrust using derate + ATM , IF an engine fails after takeoff?

[@RotariTube]

thank you a lot! 👍🏼
