Performance V-speeds and PERF INIT don’t exist. It is what I call an “empty shell” of an airplane. You can not program routes as a real FMS, and entering waypoints, direct-tos, or approaches are annoyingly odd, or nonexistent. Laminar Research is always helping the team and backs the project.

Key Takeaways VLO is the max speed to extend or retract landing gear. VLE is the max speed to fly with gear extended. VLE is usually higher than VLO because moving gear at high speeds adds stress. You can check your POH or AFM for exact V-speeds. What Is the Difference Between VLE and VLO?

However, at the same time, he noticed that the airspeed indicator wasn’t showing the V-speed bugs: as Pilot Monitoring, he needed to monitor the V-speeds to give guidance to the Pilot Flying. “No, get the checklist.”

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. The rotation speed.

Physics of mobility 101 Every movement, every transportation, regardless of whether it takes place in a car, by train, on a bicycle, in an airplane or simply by walking, requires energy. These examples clearly illustrate what the quadratic component of final speed input means in the calculation. But our considerations are not over yet.
