This document provides a comprehensive overview of the various 'v-speeds' used in aviation, which are critical aircraft speeds that pilots must be aware of and adhere to for safe and efficient flight operations. It covers the definitions and importance of speeds such as va, vfe, vle, vmc, vne, vno, vso, vsi, vx, vy, v1, vf, and vmca. Understanding these v-speeds is crucial for pilots to maintain control of the aircraft, avoid structural damage, and ensure safe takeoffs and landings. This reference is valuable for aviation students, pilots, and enthusiasts to deepen their knowledge of these critical flight parameters.

Va ✔✔Design maneuvering speed. The maximum speed you can fully deflect the controls and not do damage to the airplane. Vfe ✔✔Maximum Flap Extended Speed Maximum speed you could go with the flaps out to have them not break. Vle ✔✔Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed The maximum speed you can go with the landing gear down. Vmc ✔✔Minimum control speed with critical engine inoperative The lowest speed you can go with one engine out. Vne ✔✔Never-exceed speed (red line) If you go over a speed, the red line, parts with fly off.
Vno ✔✔Maximum speed for normal ops. Speed range, speed for normal operation, above stall, below va. Vso ✔✔Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed obtained in landing configuration. Flaps down, landing gear down, lowest speed you can go. Vsi ✔✔Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed obtained in a specified configuration. Stall speed in specified conditions. Vx ✔✔Speed for best angle of climb Speed provides most altitude and shortest distance-slower. Vy ✔✔Speed for best rate of climb. Most altitude in shortest distance. V1 ✔✔Takeoff Decision Speed Decision pilots make changes the speed. Engine cut off and still have time to stop on runway.
