25
Maximum demonstrated crosswind speed?
17 knots
26
Vr (short-field takeoff)
55 KIAS
27
Vr (soft-field takeoff)
Liftoff at lowest possible airspeed and remain in ground effect to accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx) to begin climb.
28
Traffic Pattern Airspeed
90 KIAS
29
During turbulent or gusty wind conditions, how much "gust factor" should be added to the normal approach speed?
Add 1/2 the gust factor to the normal approach speed.
(For example, if wind is reported 8 gusting to 18, the gust factor is 10. Add 1/2 the gust factor, 5 knots, to the normal approach speed)
30
Descent speed out of TPA after abeam the numbers?
70-80 KIAS
31
Base leg speed?
70 KIAS
32
Speed on short final when landing is assured?
66 KIAS
33
Downwind leg speed?
90 KIAS
