I researched the various threads on the CV880 and had a couple of questions. The first was what is Vso and Vsl for the CV880 and what is the deck angle in cruise flight and landing?

Thank,

See if you find anything in here... 1960's Flight International in .pdf on the 880, -M included.

Thanks CR2,

I had seen that and found it to disagree slightly with the Type Certification that was on the FAA website. Hopefully a former CV-880 pilot will see my request and help.

Thanks,

BS

Bluestar,
Suggest posting on the History and Nostalgia and Fragrant Harbour forums. The biggest operators of CV880M's were Japan Airlines and Cathay Pacific. By posting on Fragrant Harbour you might get help from CX or some of its retired CV880 pilots who have responded to past CV880 questions.
I am not a pilot; I only fixed them.
