I cant understand why the last one is low weights, to me it should be high weights... could anyone explain?
V2 decreases with weights - a light plane can stay airborne and climb at much lower speeds than a heavy plane.
However, VMCA does not fall in the same manner at low weights. So, at low weights, VMCA might limit V2.
