V2

Hello Guys n Gals,

I have just written a book about my 40 years on and off in the airline industry.
the book is finished and I had it proof read by a retired airline official who told
me that some of the explanations are not correct.

These are the explanations in question that I sourced from Google
and I would appreciate any comments to put me on the right track
(excuse the pun)


V1, is the speed beyond which the takeoff should no longer be aborted.



ROTATE, is the speed that the nose wheel of the aircraft leaves the ground.


V2 is the speed at which there is sufficient airflow over the control surfaces to actually control the aircraft.



He told me that the definition of V2 in particular troubled him.(He is not
a pilot)



I'm not interested in any sarcastic comments but just the good oil, the ridgy
didge stuff would be highly appreciated.


The book will be printed in the new year and will go on Trade Me,
Facebook, selected bookshops in NZ and BNE as well as E-Bay.
It goes back from recent times to the 1950's, in NZ with NZ, UT,
NM and ZQ, as well as Brisbane with AN.


Anyway thank you everyone so much for your help
