Question on Va/manouvering speed
Hi all,
At the moment I'm studying to become a gliding instructor, and wrestling with a few questions. One of them has to do with the manouvering speed, Va:
is Va also dependent on the weight of the aircraft, and if so, in what way? I understood earlier that the lower the weight, the lower Va is as well; am I right?
If any of you airline-pilots is willing to shed some light on this, I'd be happy to hear. Thanks in advance.
