It might seem a little bit junky, but I have been asked this. What is the boundary speed for C-152 region of normal and reverse command? I mean at which speed does the C-152 come under region of reverse command?
As a PPL student I was taught that this is normally the same as best rate of climb speed (for full power) or the best glide speed (for no power) - these are the points on the power curve where both higher and lower speeds result in increased drag and thus reduced lift. For practical purposes both speeds are 65 kts in a C152. I know that PPL theory is quite simplified though so I'm interested in more informed opinions?
