A single-engined Cessna 150L's airspeed indicator indicating its V-speeds in knots. In aviation, V-speeds are standard terms used to define airspeeds important or useful to the operation of all aircraft. [1] These speeds are derived from data obtained by aircraft designers and manufacturers during flight testing for aircraft type-certification.
Since it uses a standard Piper Pacer airframe, the aircraft is made from welded steel tubing, covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 32.00 ft (9.8 m) span wing employs a USA 35B airfoil, mounts flaps and has a wing area of 168.00 sq ft (15.608 m 2). The standard conversion installs a 230 hp (172 kW) Ford V6 powerplant, driving a fixed pitch ...
The minimum control speed during approach and landing (V MCL) is similar to V MCA, but the aircraft configuration is the landing configuration. V MCL is defined for both part 23 <FAR 23.149 (c)> and part 25 aircraft in civil aviation regulations.
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 ...
Proposed definition of V 1: In an attempted takeoff, V 1 is the lower of (a) the maximum speed at which the pilot can safely stop the airplane in an emergency without leaving the end of the runway and (b) the minimum speed at which the pilot can recognize an engine failure and safely continue the takeoff.
Ultra Pup N3 Pup Single seat variant designed to resemble a 3/4 scale Piper J-3 Cub.Originally named the Nostalgair N-3 Pup. Engine is a TEC Half VW of 40 hp (30 kW).
