I hope the graph question ROC was 175 feet...otherwise im in trouble...

Regarding the question about which speed produces the most drag :

a.Vmo
b.Vs1
c.Va
d.Slowest speed possible in a given configuration

Im being told 'd' is actually correct as I checked with a groundschool teacher...if anyone wants to add to this feel free...

My two kroner worth

A and C are not going to be a favorite for this one since they are aiming for Induced drag.

Since they want something that gives you the most drag (likely to be induced drag) then you´d have to select a speed that´s very low and the ones I see there are Vs1 (which is pretty slow) and the other option D). I´m inclined to go for D in this matter but no expert here.

Wouldnt worry too much only a 1 pointer, its the graphs which make all the difference.

Good luck for Wedneday, I did the same double wammy (GNAV/MET) in July. Hopefully im geared up for HPL only time will tell.
