Speeds & Mass

Question 1

Vno

Answer 1

130

Normal maximum structural cruising speed which should only be exceeded in smooth air

Question 2

Vne

Answer 2

172

Never-exceed speed

Question 3

Vo

Weight between 1181 - 1280 kg

Answer 3

113 kts

Maximum operational maneuvering speed (Vo) is a speed where the airplane will stall in a nose-up pitching maneuver before exceeding the airplane structural limits. Vo decreases as your aircraft’s weight decreases.

Question 4

Vso

Answer 4

60 kts

Stall speed in landing configuration. Lower limit of white arc

Question 5

Vs1

Answer 5

66 kts

Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed in a specific configuration. Normally regarded as the “clean” — gear and flaps up.

Question 6

Vfe (flaps T/O)

Answer 6

110 kts

Maximum flap-extended speed. Top of white arc.

Question 7

Vfe (flaps LDG)

Answer 7

98 kts

Question 8

Vr

for weight 1200kg

Answer 8

65 kts

Rotation speed, which the nose wheel lifts off.

Question 9

V50 flaps T/O

for weight 1200 kg

Answer 9

70 kts

Question 10

Vy

for weight 1200 kg

Answer 10

72 kts

Best rate-of-climb speed. Delivers the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest time.

Question 11

V cruise climb flaps UP

Answer 11

88 kts

Question 12

Vref approach flaps LDG

for weight 1200 kg

Answer 12

77 kts

Final approach speed.

The actual answer for weight of 1200 kg is 76 kts but 77 kts is what we go by at Oxofrd.

Question 13

Vref approach flaps T/O

for weight of 1200 kg

Answer 13

77 kts

Question 14

Vref approach flaps UP

for weight of 1200 kg

Best gliding flaps UP

Answer 16

88 kts

For every 1000 ft drop = 1.59 nm

Answer 17

63 kts

weight 1310 kg

The more you turn the higher the stall speed gets

Question 18

Vs1 while turning 30 degrees

Answer 18

68 kts

for 1310 kg
