What is VMCA with Flaps APP?

Explanation:
VMCA with Flaps APP is the minimum speed at which the airplane remains controllable in the air when the critical engine is inoperative and the other engine is producing takeoff power, with the flaps set to the approach (APP) position. The approach-flap setting changes the aerodynamics enough that you need a slightly higher speed to maintain directional control than in other configurations. For this aircraft, the certification data specify that 93 knots is the minimum controllable speed in this APP configuration, so that speed is the best answer. Slower than this, with one engine inoperative and flaps in APP, the rudder and overall control authority aren’t sufficient to hold a straight flight.
