Q

What is VA airspeed? (Definition)

A

An airspeed published by your aircraft’s manufacturer that guarantees that your aircraft will stall before you reach the maximum certified g-load

With a heavier aircraft, your AOA in cruise is closer to the critical AOA, causing you to stall at a faster airspeed. A lighter aircraft will have more degrees of AOA to increase before it encounters the critical AOA, causing you to stall at a lower airspeed.
