Shytorque, without trying to make excuses (apart from the memory loss!) I thought Vy was 80 kts. Now I'm curious: what was/is it?
Do you know- I can't remember it and can't find that figure in my notes - which are now some 18 years old! Having said that, turning at 45 degree AOB increases the stalling speed by a factor of approximately 1.2 hence the need for an increase over normal glidespeed.
I don't think "Vy" is the correct term to use for a glide because it refers to best climb speed.
