>>I don't have my AFM library with me at the moment, but I can't recall any presentation where V2 is predicated on density height ?
Perhaps you could indicate an aircraft for which such variation is the case ? <<
Sure. My DC-8 is one. We do quite a few operations where the t/o weight is less than max landing weight, so in many cases the *min* speeds are governing.
In the *real* world, most pilots are given simplistic tabulated data to determine V speeds and really don't care (or in some cases, understand) how the numbers were derived. They just use them.
I am responsible for my carrier's 3 engine ferry operations, so the *min* speeds are a very real concern.
Perhaps we don't disagree after all.
