Multi-Engine Aerodynamics | Must Knows About Flying Twin-Engine Airplanes
In this episode of the CFI Bootcamp Power Hour Series, we break down the aerodynamics of twin-engine flight in a structured, instructor-ready format. Whether you're preparing for your CFI practical test or deepening your understanding of multi-engine operations, this lesson covers the concepts you must be able to teach — not just know. We walk through the performance impact of losing an engine, the physics of the critical engine, what Vmc really means and how it changes with altitude, the zero sideslip technique for maximizing single-engine performance, and how to use accelerate-stop and accelerate-go data for professional preflight planning. This episode is part of the ongoing CFI Bootcamp Fundamentals of Instruction Power Hour Series, designed to give flight instructor candidates a structured knowledge base grounded in FAA standards, the Airman Certification Standards, and real-world instructional technique. New episodes release regularly on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all major audio platforms. Visit cfibootcamp.com to access the full course, lesson plans, and digital study tools.
