With engines rotating in the same direction the P-factor will affect minimum control speeds.
2.
This speed is the minimum control speed-airborne ( V MC ( A ) ).
3.
When it dropped below the in-flight minimum control speed, the aircraft stalled and banked to port, into the dead engine.
4.
The crash was attributed to disengagement of the rudder fly-by-wire flight control system, resulting in a total loss of rudder control capability while conducting ground minimum control speed tests ( Vmcg ).
5.
More importantly, if an engine fails, the asymmetric thrust is much less than on a twin-engine layout, thereby increasing safety and allowing for a lower V MC ( minimum control speed ) with an engine inoperative.
6.
"Minimum control speed is the minimum flight speed at which the airplane is controllable with a bank angle of not more than 5?when the critical engine suddenly becomes inoperative and the remaining engine is operating at takeoff power ."
7.
Four-or more engine airplanes not only have a V MC ( A ), also called V MCA1 where the critical engine alone is inoperative ( n-1 ), but also a V MCA2 that applies as minimum control speed when one engine is already inoperative.

Hello everyone, I'd like to know the stall speed and Vmc ( minimum control speed, the lowest airspeed at which the pilot can maintain lateral control in case of engine failure ) for the Lockheed L-10 Electra with a 3, 600 lb . overload, as was the case with Amelia Earhart's plane on takeoff from Lae, New Guinea.
