V-SPEED Flashcards
What does Vso stand for?
Stalling speed in a specified configuration
What does Vs1 stand for?
Stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in a specified configuration
What does Vfe stand for?
Maximum flap extended speed
What does Vno stand for?
Maximum structural cruising speed
What does Vne stand for?
Never exceed speed
What does Va stand for?
Maneuvering speed
What is Vso in relation to Vs1?
Vso is lower than Vs1
What is Vfe in relation to Vno?
Vfe is lower than Vno
What is Vno in relation to Vne?
Vno is lower than Vne
What is the purpose of Va?
To provide a buffer against structural damage from abrupt control movements
What is the importance of Vne?
Exceeding Vne can result in structural failure
What is the significance of Vfe?
Exceeding Vfe can lead to flap damage
What is the relationship between Vso and stall speed?
Vso is equal to or greater than the stall speed
Why is it important to know V speeds?
To operate the aircraft within safe limits and prevent accidents
What is the Vno for your aircraft?
Check the aircraft manual for the specific Vno
What action should be taken if Vne is exceeded?
Reduce airspeed immediately to avoid structural damage
How does altitude affect V speeds?
V speeds are specified for a specific altitude, so adjustments may be needed at different altitudes
What is the purpose of calculating V speeds?
To ensure safe and efficient flight operations
What is the impact of weight on V speeds?
Heavier aircraft may have higher V speeds
How does temperature affect V speeds?
Higher temperatures may increase V speeds
What is the relationship between Vso and Vs1?
Vso is equal to or less than Vs1
What is the difference between Vno and Vne?
Vno is the maximum structural cruising speed, while Vne is the never exceed speed
What is the significance of knowing V speeds?
To maintain safe and efficient flight operations
Why is it important to observe Vfe?
To prevent damage to the flaps during flight
What is the primary purpose of V speeds?
To ensure safe and controlled flight
