@FSX404 : Blue Line is your Vyse speed. its your best rate of climb airspeed on one engine. Red Line is your VMC speed aka the Minimum Control airspeed while on one engine before you lose directional control of the aircraft.
So if you're engine fails below the red line and you have to go around, you're pretty much screwed? Its better to put it down anyway you can than do a go around?
@FSX404 : pretty much yes unless you got some altitude to lose to gain speed to get to blue line or better before applying power and going around, otherwise you have a better chance of surviving a forced landing than a go-around attempt below your VMC speed. I'll see about doing a video to demonstrate it.
Nice one, what is the blue line?
