1
New cards

VFE

Maximum flap extended speed. Do not exceed this speed with the flaps down. Represented by the top of the white arc.

2
New cards

VNE

Never Exceed speed. (Represented by the red line)

3
New cards

VA

Maneuvering speed, the speed below which you can use full control movements without over stressing the aircraft. Do not exceed this speed in turbulent air or during abrupt control inputs. (decreases with aircraft weight)

4
New cards

VNO

Maximum structural cruising speed. Do not exceed this speed except in smooth air, and then with only caution. Represented by the yellow arc.

5
New cards

VY

Best rate-of-climb speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain in altitude in a given time. (74kts)

6
New cards

VX

Best angle-of-climb speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance. (56kts)

7
New cards

VSO

Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configuration at the most forward CG(center of gravity)

8
New cards

Green arc

Normal operating range. Lower limit is maximum weight. VS1 at most forward CG with flaps retracted. Upper limit is maximum structural cruising speed.

9
New cards

VR

Rotation speed is the speed at which the pilot gently pulls back on the control column to lift the nose off of the runway during takeoff.(55kts)

10
New cards

VS

Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controlled. The airplane will stall if you fly any slower than this speed. (a stall can occur at any airspeed, in any altitude.)

11
New cards

White Arc

Full flap operating range. Lower limit is maximum weight Vso in landing configuration. Upper limit is maximum speed permissible with flaps extended.

12
New cards

Yellow Arc

Operations must be conducted with caution and only in smooth air.

13
New cards

V1

Takeoff Decision Speed is the speed by which the decision to continue the takeoff or abort must be made.
