C208 Vy

The book figure for the C208 best rate of climb is 107 knots at sea level, scaling down to 91 knots at FL200.

The two 208 operators around this patch both use 95 knots as their company best rate of climb, and one is a skydive operator the other charter. What do they know that Cessna doesn't?

95 knots is mentioned occasionally in emergency procedures as glide speed, but otherwise it seems it has no use until you get to FL150 or so...
