Avro RJ-100 Speedchart
Hi,
Can anyone please tell me what VER stands for on an Avro RJ-100 speedchart?
I have searched everywhere on the Internet and cannot find a reference to it anywhere.
Thank you very much in anticipation.
Regards,
Steve.

VER is the En-Route climb speed, as would be stated in the Airplane Flight Manual, the AFM, as required by BCAR's, FAR's, JAR'S etc. The speed at which, having lost an engine, you climb, or at which, if in the cruise and loose an engine, you driftdown to the stabilising altitude.

Max range speed... good question, in my company we use three standard speeds for cruise, but I suppose this varies with weight as well. I have to check the AFM for that.

As in any airplane, the max range speed is the speed at which you'll burn the less fuel per NM. In still air that is the best lift to drag ratio speed. In the 146/RJ series it's Vfto + 30 kts. You'll have to fly faster if you have headwind and slower in tailwind.
Now the standard Long Range Climb / cruise speed is 235 kts which is a good compromise between fuel burn and time. Typically it's only 1% more fuel burn but a lot of time less.
