Vref + X and Vtgt Question. DH8 pilots anyone?
Hey guys,
Im flying Dhc8 and our sop stating we must add a wind correction for Vref, at least 5kts in no Xwind, or half of Hwind value = after calculation we call that "Vtarget speed".
Keeping in mind That Bombardier Acft Flight Manual doesnt have any definition of Vtarget at all (or any Vref + X option, like Boeing does), is it a common in aviation around the world to add that wind correction speed for a reference speed? If does, what is the point of it? If we approach with Vref we still have a great magin to Vs, like 30%. Why would we need to raise that value? Why did Boeing rise it in FCTM?
Do you have this rule in your SOPs?
Appreciate your thouts, guys.
