Question 1

VA – Manoeuvring Speed

Answer 1

The maximum speed at which the application of full available aerodynamic control will not overstress the aeroplane.

Question 2

VF – Design Flap Speed

Answer 2

The maximum speed at which wing flaps may be actuated.

Question 3

VFE – Maximum Flap Extended Speed

Answer 3

The maximum speed permissible with the wing flaps in a prescribed extended position.

Question 4

VLE - Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed

Answer 4

The maximum speed permissible with the landing gear extended.

Question 5

VLO Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed

Answer 5

The maximum speed permissible for the extension or retraction of the landing gear.

Question 6

VMC – Minimum Control Speed

Answer 6

The minimum flight speed at which it is possible to retain control of the aeroplane and maintain straight flight, through the use of maximum rudder defection and not more than 5 degrees of bank, following sudden failure of the critical engine.

Question 7

VSO – Stalling Speed

Answer 7

The minimum steady flight speed at which the aeroplane is controllable in the landing configuration.

Question 8

VSSE – Intentional One Engine Inoperative Speed

Answer 8

A speed above both VMC and the stall speed, selected to provide a margin of lateral and directional control when one engine is suddenly rendered inoperative. An intentional failing of one engine below this speed in not recommended.

VX – Best Angle-of-Climb Speed

Answer 9

The speed that provides the maximum altitude gain for the horizontal distance travelled.

Question 10

VXSE – One Engine Inoperative Best Angle-of-Climb Speed

Answer 10

The speed that provides the maximum altitude gain for the horizontal distance travelled with one engine inoperative.

Question 11

VY – Best Rate-of-Climb Speed

Answer 11

The speed that provides the maximum foot-per-minute altitude gain.

Question 12

VYSE - One Engine Inoperative Best Rate-of-Climb Speed

Answer 12

The speed that provides the maximum foot-per-minute altitude gain with one engine inoperative.
