During takeoff, if the airspeed is below VMCG, which statement is correct?

When taking off and the airspeed is below VMCG (minimum control speed on the ground), the aircraft may not have sufficient speed for effective control. VMCG is the minimum speed at which the aircraft can maintain directional control with one engine inoperative and full power applied on the other.

At speeds below VMCG, the aircraft is more susceptible to losing control if an engine fails, as there is insufficient airflow over the control surfaces to maintain directional stability. Therefore, the ability to keep the aircraft on the centerline, even with takeoff power generated by a functioning engine, becomes questionable.

Thus, the first statement regarding maintaining the centerline with takeoff power on a good engine would not hold true because, while the engine may be functional, the aircraft dynamics dictated by being below VMCG make it difficult to maintain control.

Considering the context of the question, abort procedures become particularly crucial if the aircraft is below VMCG during the takeoff. Therefore, the statement that abort procedures are not necessary is also inaccurate, as vigilance and readiness to abort would be essential for safety.

The correct answer indicates that both prior statements (maintaining centerline is not possible on a good engine and that abort procedures are necessary) are
