Vwhat?

[Stubbs]

I am trying to compile a comprehensive list of all the Vspeeds.

Can anyone help?

not really a private flying?, try in the questions forum which is more for this area of aviation.

Yep it is ! Here you go for a start, all relevant to private pilots:-

Vx - best angle of climb speed
Vy - best rate of climb speed
Vxse - best angle of climb, single engine
Vyse - best rate of climb, single engine
Vsse - minimum speed for intentional engine failures
Vno - normal operating speed
Vne - never exceed speed
Vmc - minimum contollable airspeed
Vlo - landing gear operation speed
Vle - max speed, landing gear extended
Va - manoeuvring speed / rough air penetration
Vfe - max flap extension speed
Vs0 - stall, landing gear down, flaps lowered, power off
Vs1 - stall, landing gear up, flaps up, power off


Probably forgotten a few.....

I learnt another one the other day - vTOSS! This is apparently something like the take-off-safety-speed in a twin-engined helicopter, the speed at which you can climb out after one engine fails.

I've never flown helicopters, but a post on the rotorheads forum confirmed it for me. That was another tricky question for a friend who's doing his dispatch license solved by PPRuNe!
