Thank you for an informative and (in my opinion) long overdue article on VMC and its associated hazards in light twin-engine aircraft (“Is VMC Fixed Or Variable?” August 2020).
The closest I have come to my demise in my 47 years of flying occurred many years ago in a light twin (Beech Baron). As a young pilot with a relatively recent multi-engine rating, I had been given the usual training as described in your article. The rule to not turn toward the dead engine promised “loss of directional control” as its consequence. As an engineer by training, that seemed somewhat vague, but what were the chances that it would become an issue?
