Asked

"Maybe a dumb question, but if 137 kts was the VREF, doesn't that mean that the stall speed may have been 111 kts?s?"

A reasonable question, and nobody answered, so I'll have a go.

I'm super lazy, so going from memory, last I looked was probably over 25 years ago, VREF was 1.3 Vs so stall with VREF = 137 would be 137/1.3 which is 105. I stand ready to be corrected.
