APPROACH SPEED PA28T

[andreaquilotto]

Hi everyone,
If someone can help me, I would like to know the VNE and APPROACH speed of a PA28T.
Thanks everyone and excuse me for my English!

You'd be better of posting in the Instructors forum or the Private. However, best to give the registration as well (or better still look in the POH).

Welcome Andrea,

The Vne of a PA-28 will vary by model, so you'll have to specify which PA-28. To help yourself, you can look it up, as well as lots of other fascinating information about any certified aircraft, in its Type certificate Data Sheet:

http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/58e3800616d183568625805f00534b82/$FILE/2A13_Rev_56.pdf

The approach speeds will not be described there, as they are not "limiting" to the type. Expect that to be a range, spanning 10 knots or so. Precision to within a knot or two is not required for approach speed of a PA 28.

Vne will be in the POH.

For approach speed, use 1.3Vso until over the fence, then 1.1Vso. In my experience, these numbers work pretty well for most GA planes.

Vne will be somewhere around 190kt depending on the subtype, approach speeds on final can be anywhere between 70 and 85kt depending on type and flapsetting. As mentioned before, check the POH of the specific aircraft.
