Slow Flight
We regularly fly our 752s at very low weight (where they are definitely not very happy). I have had various discusions with other crew about Vref30+5 as normal ops final speed (Vref 30 as low as 106KIAS), which is as per co and Boeing SOPs and 111kts in this scenario.
I am aware of Vmca restrictions, which of course should be more than catered for by 1.3Vs of Vref30, but have had several of my colleagues insisting that they WILL NOT go below 117 due Vmcg considerations. As I understand it, this is for the full thrust, MTOW situation of losing the critical engine at V1. By Boeing's own definition, 111kts should be perfectly safe in the event of landing, and for a G/A you must be above Vmca, otherwise they would not certify at this weight?
Your thoughts, please...
