  2. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    V-speed designator Description V 1: The speed beyond which takeoff should no longer be aborted (see § V 1 definitions below). [7] [8] [9] V 2: Takeoff safety speed. The speed at which the aircraft may safely climb with one engine inoperative. [7] [8] [9] V 2 min: Minimum takeoff safety speed. [7] [8] [9] V 3: Flap retraction speed. [8] [9] V 4 ...

  3. Balanced field takeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_field_takeoff

    The takeoff decision speed V 1 is the fastest speed at which the pilot must take the first actions to reject the takeoff (e.g. reduce thrust, apply brakes, deploy speed brakes). At speeds below V 1 the aircraft can be brought to a halt before the end of the runway. At V 1 and above, the pilot should continue the takeoff even if an emergency is ...

  4. Minimum control speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_Control_Speeds

    Minimum control speeds are typically established by flight tests [1] [2] [3] as part of an aircraft certification process. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] They provide a guide to the pilot in the safe operation of the aircraft.

  5. Engine failure on takeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_failure_on_takeoff

    [1] [2] [3] In small airplanes, if the engine failure occurs before V R (Rotation Speed), the pilot should reduce throttles to idle, deploy speed brakes (if equipped), and brake as necessary. If the engine failure occurs just after liftoff, the pilot must make a decision if there is enough runway to achieve an emergency runway landing, or if an ...

  6. Airspeed indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed_indicator

    At a glance, the pilot can determine a recommended speed (V speeds) or if speed adjustments are needed. Single and multi-engine aircraft have common markings. For instance, the green arc indicates the normal operating range of the aircraft, from V S1 to V NO. The white arc indicates the flap operating range, V SO to V FE, used for approaches ...

  7. Speed and rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    [3] V x increases with altitude and V Y decreases with altitude until they converge at the airplane's absolute ceiling, the altitude above which the airplane cannot climb in steady flight. The Cessna 172 is a four-seat aircraft. At maximum weight it has a V Y of 75 kn (139 km/h) indicated airspeed [4] providing a rate of climb of 721 ft/min (3. ...

  8. Taylor J-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_J-2

    The Taylor J-2 Cub (later also known as the Piper J-2 Cub) is an American two-seat light aircraft that was designed and built by the Taylor Aircraft Company.The company became the Piper Aircraft Company and the J-2 was first of a long line of related Piper Cub designs.

  9. Aircraft approach category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_approach_category

    II-5-1-3 Pilots may not use a lower category than the one certified, but may choose to use a higher category for higher speed approaches. [2] The maximum permitted speed for visual manoeuvring is significantly higher than the threshold speed. Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2
