Ok. We set the standards on the internet, face to face has no relevance here. got it.

But very few of us have met each other, so how would we know how others would receive what we are trying to transmit?

I guess I just don't understand what you are trying to argue here.

I would agree that whether both are critical or neither is critical is largely academic. But, I do know that a Seneca 1 has a VMC published and it will roll over with either side failed.

Why don't you just watch the CHT and adjust to whatever your goal? You may very well be able to nose dive your airfield at full power and still be cooling the engine off? If Temps are the goal, watch the temperature gauges.

What does "would most adversely affect" mean to you? Serious question.

Overthinking this. If one engine failing is worse than the other, that is the higher number that is used. If the Numbers match, well then you also use that number. The criteria for publishing VMC is to keep manufactures on the same playing field as much as anything, it is a variable number...

Martin's videos are required viewing for any student of mine :)

A very common question. The Definition is the engine that "causes the most adverse yaw", so no Critical engine if they are the same.

The "Right Engine is Wrong"... Meaning the right engine on a Seneca is replaced so that there is no critical engine. Remember Critical doesn't mean important, it just means means losing it causes the most Yaw

Paul and I went to AZ Soaring today. I tried my hand at gliders. It wasn’t as far of a stretch as I thought it would be, balloons Should be similar right ;)

Perhaps you could articulate your question one more time then?

So if otherwise qualified, you would go ahead and apply at the commercial instrument pilot with a type rating? Instead of an ATP rated pilot for a type rating in the exact same plane on the same checkride?

Type ratings for Turbine aircraft are required regardless of ATP, Commercial Or Private rating. Insurance may want to see a higher level of proficiency. Regardless of Single or Multi Insurance and hiring requirements often trump the FAA requirements. They will however never be less.

It gets you insured in a Cirrus Jet..

Category and class only, and medical. of course if they aren’t qualified to be pic, then they can’t act pic. So they could just log SIc when you’re under the hood.

yall are way late to the party

Always have to review the entire requirements with new commercial students, most are missing something (normally solo night or solo XC) before they get started. Now I try to mention it to my IFR students, that way they can at least know it exists and work it into their plans if they want to go...

The endorsement says he meets the qualifications and training for the commercial checkride.

And you were solo on all legs? That's gonna be a tough one to argue being that far apart.
