Regarding Vmc, why was a bank angle of 5 degrees determined to be used
during flight tests certification to determine Vmc of which is found in CFR Part 23? For example, why was 10 degrees or 15 degrees not utilized?
My understanding is if the bank angle is less than 5 degrees or greater than 5 degrees that Vmc increases.My thought is that rudder travel and the horizontal lift
vector are factors to offset asymmetrical thrust and sideslip. Aerodynamically speaking, can anyone elaborate?
Thanks.
