This brief training clip follows a student practicing the VMC demo while his flight instructor talks him through the maneuver and gives tips along the way. It’s not a full VMC demonstration lesson, but it gives you a look at how the maneuver is practiced during real multi-engine flight training.

Now we can begin the demonstration. Hand never leaves the throttle, right? Recognize we're single engine, we're about to be pitching up. This is a very, very dangerous scenario. We're putting ourselves in so we don't want to take risk. We always are in control. Our hand never leaves that throttle. Let's go to 5,000. Give us a little more room and we'll go through the VMC demo. Alright, so we're going to... This one starts with calve flaps, right? Exactly. We're going to close both of them. Nope, just the left. The left engine is the only one coming off. Alright, and then we are going to go... Make sure we'll stay there, right? Yep, just set for the altitude. Cool, and then throttle is going to... 20? 15. 15, okay. Yeah, this first outside in is very similar to slow flight. Okay. We're just slowing the plane down so that you can eventually pull out that left engine without it being too aggressive. There's 15. And then props are going full. Check gear. And then we do want to pull the gear down, right? Oh no. No? Mute that horn, don't get confused. Yeah, VMC demonstrations, no gear. Yeah, a lot of people, they hear that gear horn and they think the same way. It's like, oh shoot, gear has to come down. VMC demo, mute it because it's a very easy confusion. Okay. So we pull the left engine out. Cool, yeah. We're stable now, get a little bit of a chime in there. Cool, and then we're pulling the left engine slowly. Check gear. Yep, mute that horn. Alright, hand on the throttle. Alright, hand is on throttle. We're just waiting for 88. Alright, nice smooth advance to full. Let your zero side slip come in. Cool. Now we can begin the demonstration. Hand never leaves the throttle, right? Recognize we're single engine, we're about to be pitching up. This is a very, very dangerous scenario we're putting ourselves in, so we don't want to take risk. We always are in control. Our hand never leaves that throttle. Getting back to our heading. There we are. Alright, now we're going to slowly start pitching up. Up to 15. Yep. Using rudder and bank here to maintain your heading. A little more bank. A little more rudder, a little more... Oh, waiting on that stall horn. Stall, stall, stall, stall, stall. Power idle. Cool, dancing. Feet need to be alive. Dancing. Cool, and then we're going to introduce a little power. Yep. Cool, we want it above 88. Just remember, your right hand is directly related to how much asymmetrical thrust we have. Okay. And your right foot is directly related to maintaining control with that asymmetrical thrust, right? So if you pull out asymmetrical thrust, you got to relieve some right rudder. Yeah. So one more time here. And what I want you to think about as soon as that stall horn comes off, first things first, pulling power and feet alive. Okay. Alright, so I'm pulling this back to... Oh, no, full power. Oh, full, okay. And then we'll just slowly start pitching up to 15 again. Hand stays on the throttle. Hand stays on the throttle, big rudder. I just want you to remember, as you're pulling that power, there's no rush to do so, but make sure you're moving your feet with the throttle. Yeah. Alright, nicely done. It's coming around 65. Remember, throttle and feet. Stall, stall, stall, stall, stall. That was over, that was over. Nice. Introducing that throttle back. If you could be a little brown, because you want to keep accelerating. Okay. Use the power. To full throttle. Yep. And just re-establish blue line. Blue line, zero side slip. There we go. Yep, about five degrees pitch up will keep you there. That was way better, man. Way better. Yeah, it felt a lot better. And kind of as you get that feel, and you can better relate to what your feet need to do and better predict it, then the next thing to think about is just keeping the nose coming over so that we don't get stuck. But that was way, way better. Let's go ahead and clean it up. Cool, so this is going to 15. Yep. Cool, there's around 15. And then we're going to check the engine. The cylinder. Yep, good. Alright, so then we'll close the tail flap. It's locked in there. And then we can set it around. Okay, let's come back to cruise and we can take a heading of roughly 330. Okay.
