![]() "Jim Macklin" wrote in message news ![]() On a single-engine, a door opening is not serious, but a twin with a door open and the engine on the opposite side might get interesting. The open door would probably raise Vmca because of the air flow disruption on the side where maximum rudder effectiveness would be required. Yes, I think this best describes the situation that my very experienced pilot friend twice described about the disruption of the airflow once the door had popped open. |
