Aircraft Operating Limitations Flashcards
What is the symbol and speed for rotation on takeoff?
Vr, and rotation speed is 59 knots
What is the symbol, speed and benefit for climbing out at the best angle after takeoff?
Vx, 64 knots. Vx is the speed for best angle of climb, used to clear obstacles at the end of the takeoff roll quickly
What is the symbol, speed and benefit for climbing out at the best rate after takeoff?
Vy, 67 knots. Vy is the speed for best rate of climb, used to reach our cruising altitude quickly
What is the best glide speed of the aircraft
73 knots
Vs is what speed?
53 knots. The stall speed OR the minimum steady flight speed at which the aircraft is controllable. Stall speed varies with loading
Vso means what?
52 knots. The stall speed OR minimum flight speed in a landing configuration
What is the maximum flaps extended symbol and speed on landing?
Vfe, 91 knots
What is the maximum flaps extended symbol and speed on takeoff?
Vfe, 108 knots
Va stands for what above 2,284 lbs?
Design maneuvering speed at 111 knots, Va is the speed above which you should not make full control pressures….i.e: Full back on the stick
Va stands for what under 2,284 lbs
Design maneuvering speed at 94 knots, Va is the speed above which you should not make full control pressures….i.e: Full back on the stick
What is the maximum structural cruising speed, symbol and meaning?
129 knots, Vno. If the speed is exceeded and the aircraft exceeds the load limit factor, structural damage or failure may result.
The never exceed symbol and speed is?
Vne at 178 knots
The maximum demonstrated crosswind component is what?
20 knots
The maximum takeoff weight in the normal category is how much?
2,646 lbs
The normal category airplane is permitted to do what maneuvers?
All normal flight maneuvers, stalls (except dynamic stalls), lazy eights, chandelles and steep turns as long as the angle of bank does not exceed 60 degrees
