Default Why are multiple engines different?

Vyse is even more important. If you are faster or slower
than Vyse you will have problems. On take-off, know the IFR
circling minimums, that will get you around the pattern for
a landing. Cruise high, if you loose an engine, you can
"drift down" to the se ceiling and will have a wider number
of airports available.
