VLO Maximum landing gear operating speed. VMO Maximum operating limit speed. V1 is where the pilot must take the first action (such as reducing thrust) to stop the aircraft or risk a runway overrun. VLE Maximum landing gear extended speed. VLOF Lift-off speed. VMU Minimum unstick speed. VNE Never-exceed speed.
