BTW, Part 23 only requires a capability of .2Vs0.




Where's the picture from? Maybe a before and after picture would help, as in ball centered and no bank first, ball towards the good engine and banked second?

Is it safe to say that you're essentially slipping back into the good engine when you "raise the dead?" I'm still having trouble seeing why with the ball centered there is a net force (yet no yaw?) moving the entire aircraft in the direction of the bad engine. Is the force solely the result of rudder input to counteract the yaw from the good engine?
