Aircraft Control and Barber Pole

Hi All,

I'm doing a little survey.

I was hoping some here could give their honest opinions regarding Vmo/barber pole and the effects of aircraft control. I would rather start a regular poll that most forums have where you just click on a selection, but it doesn't seem I can here at pprune. Without further ado...

Think of the aircraft you operate.

Now think of exceeding Vmo/Barber Pole at any altitude on your ASI.

Now please think, in your expert opinion, when you feel your aircraft will no longer be controllable/survivable above such limits.

If you would be so kind, please copy/paste the following in your reply which applies to you and the aircraft you fly. When replying with your selection, please post the aircraft which you operate.

10-30 knots over Vmo/Barber Pole
30-50 knots over Vmo/Barber Pole
50-70 knots over Vmo/Barber Pole
70-100 knors over Vmo/Barber Pole
100-130 knots over Vmo Barber Pole
130-150 knots "
150-200 knots "
200+ knots "

Thank you in advance for your participation.
