31
Q

Define V-A and what is that speed in the Seminole?

A

Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which application of full available aerodynamic control will not overstress the airplane.

3800 lbs - 135 KIAS / 133 KCAS
2700 lbs - 112 KIAS / 112 KCAS

CAUTION:
Maneuvering speed decreases at lighter weight as the effects of aerodynamic forces become more pronounced. Linear interpolation may be used for intermediate gross weights. Maneuvering speed should not be exceeded while operating in rough air.

32

Define V-FE and what is that speed in the Seminole?

A

Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed position.

111 KIAS / 109 KCAS

A

Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed at which an aircraft can be safely flown with the landing gear extended.

140 KIAS / 138 KCAS

34
Q

Define V-LO and what is that speed in the Seminole?

A

Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or retracted.

Landing Gear EXTENDED - 140 KIAS / 138 KCAS

Landing Gear RETRACTED - 109 KIAS & KCAS

35
Q

Define V-MCA and what is that speed in the Seminole?

A

Air Minimum Control Speed is the minimum flight speed at which the airplane is directionally controllable as determined in accordance with FAA Regulations. Airplane certification conditions include one engine becoming inoperative and windmilling, not more than a 5-degree bank towards the operative engine, takeoff power on operative engine, landing gear up, flaps in takeoff position, and most rearward C.G.

56 KIAS / 63 KCAS

36
Q

Devine VNE/MNE and what is that speed in the Seminole?

A

Never Exceed Speed or Mach Number is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time.

202 KIAS / 194 KCAS

37
Q

Define V-NO and what speed is that in the Seminole?

A

V-NO is the Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air and then only with caution.

169 KIAS / 165 KCAS

38
Q

Define V-S and what speed is that in the Seminole?

A

V-S is the Stalling Speed or minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable.

39
Q

Define V-SO and what speed is that in the Seminole?

A

V-SO is the Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configuration.

40
Q

Define V-SSE and what speed is that in the Seminole?

A

V-SSE is the Intentional One Engine Inop Speed and is a minimum speed selected by the manufacturer for intentionally rendering one engine inop in flight for pilot training.

One Engine Inop Best Rate of Climb Speed:
