What Are V-Speeds and Why Are They Important? V-speeds are standard terms used to define airspeeds that are critical for the safe operation of all aircraft. These speeds are derived from data obtained during flight testing and are essential for pilots to understand and memorize.

But there are tons of other speeds that pilots need to know to operate their airplanes safely questions that pop up from the first moments of flight. What speed do I […] The post Understanding V-Speeds | Vx, Vy, Va, Vs, Vfe, and More appeared first on Thrust Flight.

Each aircraft’s POH or manual has a page specifically dedicated to that aircrafts V-Speeds. So, what are they? V-Speeds: What Are They? Each V-speed (and there are many) is technically a specific speed for a specific maneuver in a specific configuration. There you’ll find all of them.

Appendix: Formulas for physics buffs Energy for acceleration: 0.5 * m * v with m: mass in kg, v: speed (velocity ) in m/s (meters per second). Energy to overcome the air drag: 0.5 * r * c d * A * v with r: air density in kg/m, cd : drag coefficient, A: frontal area of the vehicle, for airplanes wing area, v: speed in m/s.

What are the V speeds on your aircraft, and which ones change with weight? You were probably asked to recite from memory the V speeds of your aircraft on your private pilot checkride. At the same time, the opposite aileron is lowered, thus increasing lift on that wing, causing the plane to roll.

There are many checks and balances which should catch a slip like this, as the wrong weight has serious consequences: not just that the airspeed is too high or low for rotation, but that all of the V-speeds are off, which affects go/no-go decisions. Generally, the sequence is pretty simple.
