OO BRO FO
Can someone please further clarify what all this means. And How can I better apply it and explain it.
The explanation says when you lose an engine on a twin you lose 50% of available power and 80% of climb performance. Obviously drag and all that is part of the reason but I also read that it is also that drag varies as the square of the airspeed and the power required to maintain that airspeed varies as the cube of the airspeed.
So what is that actually saying? Using and airspeed of 150 kias what do the numbers actually mean?
