In aviation, V-speeds are standard terms used to define airspeeds important or useful to the operation of all aircraft. [1] These speeds are derived from data obtained by aircraft designers and manufacturers during flight testing for aircraft type-certification. Using them is considered a best practice to maximize aviation safety, aircraft performance, or both. [2]

Contents

The actual speeds represented by these designators are specific to a particular model of aircraft. They are expressed by the aircraft's indicated airspeed (and not by, for example, the ground speed), so that pilots may use them directly, without having to apply correction factors, as aircraft instruments also show indicated airspeed.

In general aviation aircraft, the most commonly used and most safety-critical airspeeds are displayed as color-coded arcs and lines located on the face of an aircraft's airspeed indicator. The lower ends of the white arc and the green arc are the stalling speed with wing flaps in landing configuration, and stalling speed with wing flaps retracted, respectively. These are the stalling speeds for the aircraft at its maximum weight. [3] [4] The yellow band is the range in which the aircraft may be operated in smooth air, and then only with caution to avoid abrupt control movement. The red line is the VNE, the never-exceed speed.

Proper display of V-speeds is an airworthiness requirement for type-certificated aircraft in most countries. [5] [6]

Regulations

The most common V-speeds are often defined by a particular government's aviation regulations. In the United States, these are defined in title 14 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, known as the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). [7] In Canada, the regulatory body, Transport Canada, defines 26 commonly used V-speeds in their Aeronautical Information Manual. [8] V-speed definitions in FAR 23, 25 and equivalent are for designing and certification of airplanes, not for their operational use. The descriptions below are for use by pilots.

Regulatory V-speeds

These V-speeds are defined by regulations. They are typically defined with constraints such as weight, configuration, or phases of flight. Some of these constraints have been omitted to simplify the description.

V-speed designatorDescription
V1The speed beyond which takeoff should no longer be aborted (see § V1 definitions below). [7] [8] [9]
V2Takeoff safety speed. The speed at which the aircraft may safely climb with one engine inoperative. [7] [8] [9]
V2minMinimum takeoff safety speed. [7] [8] [9]
V3Flap retraction speed. [8] [9]
V4Steady initial climb speed. The all engines operating take-off climb speed used to the point where acceleration to flap retraction speed is initiated. Should be attained by a gross height of 400 ft (120 m). [10]
VADesign maneuvering speed. This is the speed above which it is unwise to make full application of any single flight control (or "pull to the stops") as it may generate a force greater than the aircraft's structural limitations. [7] [8] [9] [11]
VatIndicated airspeed at threshold, which is usually equal to the stall speed VS0 multiplied by 1.3 or stall speed VS1g multiplied by 1.23 in the landing configuration at the maximum certificated landing mass, though some manufacturers apply different criteria. If both VS0 and VS1g are available, the higher resulting Vat shall be applied. [12] Also called "approach speed". Also known as Vth [13] [14]

Davies defines Vat and Vref as equivalent. [15]

VBDesign speed for maximum gust intensity. [7] [8] [9]
VCDesign cruise, also known as the optimum cruise speed, is the most efficient speed in terms of distance, speed and fuel usage. [16] [17] [18]
VcefSee V1; generally used in documentation of military aircraft performance. Denotes "critical engine failure" speed as the speed during takeoff where the same distance would be required to either continue the takeoff or abort to a stop. [19]
VDDesign diving speed, the highest speed planned to be achieved in testing. [7] [8] [9]
VDFDemonstrated flight diving speed, the highest actual speed achieved in testing. [7] [8] [9]
VEFThe speed at which the critical engine is assumed to fail during takeoff. [7]
VFDesigned flap speed. [7] [8] [9]
VFCMaximum speed for stability characteristics. [7] [9]
VFEMaximum flap extended speed. [7] [8] [9]
VFTOFinal takeoff speed. [7]
VHMaximum speed in level flight at maximum continuous power. [7] [8] [9]
VLEMaximum landing gear extended speed. This is the maximum speed at which a retractable gear aircraft should be flown with the landing gear extended. [7] [8] [9] [20]
VLOMaximum landing gear operating speed. This is the maximum speed at which the landing gear on a retractable gear aircraft should be extended or retracted. [7] [9] [20]
VLOFLift-off speed. [7] [9]
VMC Minimum control speed. The minimum speed at which the aircraft is still controllable with the critical engine inoperative. [7] Like the stall speed, there are several important variables that are used in this determination. Refer to the minimum control speed article for a thorough explanation. VMC is sometimes further refined into more discrete V-speeds e.g. VMCA,VMCG.
VMCA Minimum control speed air. The minimum speed that the aircraft is still controllable with the critical engine inoperative [21] while the aircraft is airborne. VMCA is sometimes simply referred to as VMC.
VMCG Minimum control speed ground. The minimum speed that the aircraft is still controllable with the critical engine inoperative [21] while the aircraft is on the ground.
VMCL Minimum control speed in the landing configuration with one engine inoperative. [9] [21]
VMOMaximum operating limit speed. [7] [8] [9] Exceeding VMO may trigger an overspeed alarm. [22]
VMUMinimum unstick speed. [7] [8] [9]
VNENever exceed speed. [7] [8] [9] [23] In a helicopter, this is chosen to prevent retreating blade stall and prevent the advancing blade from going supersonic.
VNOMaximum structural cruising speed or maximum speed for normal operations. Speed at which exceeding the limit load factor may cause permanent deformation of the aircraft structure. [7] [8] [9] [24]
VOMaximum operating maneuvering speed. [25]
VR Rotation speed. The speed at which the pilot begins to apply control inputs to cause the aircraft nose to pitch up, after which it will leave the ground. [7] [26] [Note 1]
VrotUsed instead of VR (in discussions of the takeoff performance of military aircraft) to denote rotation speed in conjunction with the term Vref (refusal speed). [19]
VRefLanding reference speed or threshold crossing speed. [7] [8] [9] Must be at least 1.3 VS0. Must be at least VMC for reciprocating-engine aircraft, or 1.05 VMC for commuter category aircraft. [28]

In discussions of the takeoff performance of military aircraft, the term Vref stands for refusal speed. Refusal speed is the maximum speed during takeoff from which the air vehicle can stop within the available remaining runway length for a specified altitude, weight, and configuration. [19] Incorrectly, or as an abbreviation, some documentation refers to Vref and/or Vrot speeds as "Vr." [29]

VSStall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable. [7] [8] [9]
VS0Stall speed or minimum flight speed in landing configuration. [7] [8] [9]
VS1Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable in a specific configuration. [7] [8]
VSRReference stall speed. [7]
VSR0Reference stall speed in landing configuration. [7]
VSR1Reference stall speed in a specific configuration. [7]
VSWSpeed at which the stall warning will occur. [7]
VTOSSCategory A rotorcraft takeoff safety speed. [7] [23]
VXSpeed that will allow for best angle of climb. [7] [8]
VYSpeed that will allow for the best rate of climb. [7] [8]

Other V-speeds

Some of these V-speeds are specific to particular types of aircraft and are not defined by regulations.

V-speed designatorDescription
VAPPApproach speed. Speed used during final approach with landing flap set. [30] VREF plus safety increment, [31] [32] [33] typically minimum 5 knots, [34] and maximum 15 knots [30] to avoid exceeding flap limiting speeds. Typically it is calculated as half the headwind component plus the gust factor. [30] The purpose is to ensure that turbulence or gusts will not result in the airplane flying below VREF at any point on the approach. [30] Also known as VFLY.
VBEBest endurance speed – the speed that gives the greatest airborne time for fuel consumed.[ citation needed ]
VBGBest power-off glide speed – the speed that provides maximum lift-to-drag ratio and thus the greatest gliding distance available.
VBRBest range speed – the speed that gives the greatest range for fuel consumed – often identical to Vmd. [35]
VFSFinal segment of a departure with one powerplant failed. [36]
VimdMinimum drag [37]
VimpMinimum power [37]
VLLOMaximum landing light operating speed – for aircraft with retractable landing lights. [9]
VLSLowest selectable speed [38]
VmbeMaximum brake energy speed [37] [39]
VmdMinimum drag (per lift) – often identical to VBE. [35] [39] (alternatively same as Vimd [40] )
VminMinimum speed for instrument flight (IFR) for helicopters [23]
VmpMinimum power [39]
VmsMinimum sink speed at median wing loading – the speed at which the minimum descent rate is obtained. In modern gliders, Vms and Vmc have evolved to the same value. [41]
VpAquaplaning speed [39]
VPDMaximum speed at which whole-aircraft parachute deployment has been demonstrated [42]
VraRough air speed (turbulence penetration speed). [9]
VSLStall speed in a specific configuration [9] [39]
Vs1gStall speed at 1g load factor [43]
Vsse Safe single-engine speed [44]
VtThreshold speed [39]
VTDTouchdown speed [45]
VTGTTarget speed[ citation needed ]
VTOTake-off speed. (see also VLOF) [46]
VtocsTake-off climbout speed (helicopters) [23]
VtosMinimum speed for a positive rate of climb with one engine inoperative [39]
VtmaxMax threshold speed [39] [47]
VwoMaximum window or canopy open operating speed [48]
VXSEBest angle of climb speed with a single operating engine in a light, twin-engine aircraft – the speed that provides the most altitude gain per unit of horizontal distance following an engine failure, while maintaining a small bank angle that should be presented with the engine-out climb performance data. [44]
VYSEBest rate of climb speed with a single operating engine in a light, twin-engine aircraft – the speed that provides the most altitude gain per unit of time following an engine failure, while maintaining a small bank angle that should be presented with the engine-out climb performance data. [20] [44]
VZFMinimum zero flaps speed [49]
VZRCZero rate of climb speed. The aircraft is at sufficiently low speed on the "back of the drag curve" that it cannot climb, accelerate, or turn, so must reduce drag. [39] The aircraft cannot be recovered without loss of height. [15] :144–145

Mach numbers

Whenever a limiting speed is expressed by a Mach number, it is expressed relative to the local speed of sound, e.g. VMO: Maximum operating speed, MMO: Maximum operating Mach number. [7] [8]

V1 definitions

V1 is the critical engine failure recognition speed or takeoff decision speed. It is the speed above which the takeoff will continue even if an engine fails or another problem occurs, such as a blown tire. [9] The speed will vary among aircraft types and varies according to factors such as aircraft weight, runway length, wing flap setting, engine thrust used and runway surface contamination; thus, it must be determined by the pilot before takeoff. Aborting a takeoff after V1 is strongly discouraged because the aircraft may not be able to stop before the end of the runway, thus suffering a runway overrun. [50]

V1 is defined differently in different jurisdictions, and definitions change over time as aircraft regulations are amended.

Notes

  1. Most pilots often call out "rotate," instead of VR. The "rotate" callout has the same meaning of VR and Vrot. [27]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a U.S. federal government agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation which regulates civil aviation in the United States and surrounding international waters. Its powers include air traffic control, certification of personnel and aircraft, setting standards for airports, and protection of U.S. assets during the launch or re-entry of commercial space vehicles, powers over neighboring international waters were delegated to the FAA by authority of the International Civil Aviation Organization.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">General aviation</span> Civil use of aircraft excluding commercial transportation

General aviation (GA) is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as all civil aviation aircraft operations except for commercial air transport or aerial work, which is defined as specialized aviation services for other purposes. However, for statistical purposes, ICAO uses a definition of general aviation which includes aerial work.

The Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) are rules prescribed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) governing all aviation activities in the United States. The FARs comprise Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations. A wide variety of activities are regulated, such as aircraft design and maintenance, typical airline flights, pilot training activities, hot-air ballooning, lighter-than-air aircraft, human-made structure heights, obstruction lighting and marking, model rocket launches, commercial space operations, model aircraft operations, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and kite flying. The rules are designed to promote safe aviation, protecting pilots, flight attendants, passengers and the general public from unnecessary risk.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Runway</span> Area of surface used by aircraft to takeoff from and land on

According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a runway is a "defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and takeoff of aircraft". Runways may be a human-made surface or a natural surface. Runways, taxiways and ramps, are sometimes referred to as "tarmac", though very few runways are built using tarmac. Takeoff and landing areas defined on the surface of water for seaplanes are generally referred to as waterways. Runway lengths are now commonly given in meters worldwide, except in North America where feet are commonly used.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Takeoff</span> Phase of flight in which a vehicle leaves the land or water surface

Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aerospace vehicle leaves the ground and becomes airborne. For aircraft traveling vertically, this is known as liftoff.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">STOL</span> Class of airplanes that are designed to takeoff and land in a short distance

A short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft is a conventional fixed-wing aircraft that has short runway requirements for takeoff and landing. Many STOL-designed aircraft also feature various arrangements for use on airstrips with harsh conditions. STOL aircraft, including those used in scheduled passenger airline operations, have also been operated from STOLport airfields which feature short runways.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Landing</span> Transition from being in flight to being on a surface

Landing is the last part of a flight, where a flying animal, aircraft, or spacecraft returns to the ground. When the flying object returns to water, the process is called alighting, although it is commonly called "landing", "touchdown"a or "splashdown" as well. A normal aircraft flight would include several parts of flight including taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent and landing.

Pilot certification in the United States is typically required for an individual to act as a pilot-in-command of an aircraft. It is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). A pilot may be certified under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61 or 14 CFR Part 141. Pilots may also be certified under 14 CFR Part 107 for commercial drone operations.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Light-sport aircraft</span> Category of lightweight aircraft that are simple to fly

A light-sport aircraft (LSA), or light sport aircraft, is a fairly new category of small, lightweight aircraft that are simple to fly. LSAs tend to be heavier and more sophisticated than ultralight aircraft, but LSA restrictions on weight and performance separates the category from established GA aircraft. There is no standard worldwide description of an LSA.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Electronic flight bag</span> Flight Information management device

An electronic flight bag (EFB) is an electronic information management device that helps flight crews perform flight management tasks more easily and efficiently with less paper providing the reference material often found in the pilot's carry-on flight bag, including the flight-crew operating manual, navigational charts, etc. In addition, the EFB can host purpose-built software applications to automate other functions normally conducted by hand, such as take-off performance calculations. The EFB gets its name from the traditional pilot's flight bag, which is typically a heavy documents bag that pilots carry to the cockpit.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ultralight aircraft (United States)</span> American aircraft category


Ultralight aircraft exist outside of the United States. In most countries, ultralights are a class of aircraft. A completely different legal concept is valid within the USA. The FAA makes explicitly clear, that ultralight vehicles are no aircraft, are not regulated as aircraft, and are exempt from aircraft rules. Instead, they are treated as powersport items and have to follow their own ruleset, FAR-103, which is the most compact aviation regulation in existence. It can be printed on the front- and backside of a single piece of paper.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ultralight aircraft (Canada)</span>

The Canadian Aviation Regulations define two types of ultralight aircraft: basic ultra-light aeroplane (BULA), and advanced ultra-light aeroplane (AULA).

In aviation, a balanced field takeoff is a condition where the takeoff distance required (TODR) with one engine inoperative and the accelerate-stop distance are equal for the aircraft weight, engine thrust, aircraft configuration and runway condition. For a given aircraft weight, engine thrust, aircraft configuration, and runway condition, the shortest runway length that complies with safety regulations is the balanced field length.

Trans World Airlines (TWA) Flight 159 was a regularly scheduled passenger flight from New York City to Los Angeles, California, with a stopover in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Kentucky, that crashed after an aborted takeoff from Cincinnati on November 6, 1967. The Boeing 707 attempted to abort takeoff when the copilot became concerned that the aircraft had collided with a disabled DC-9 on the runway. The aircraft overran the runway, struck an embankment and caught fire. One passenger died as a result of the accident.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Airworthiness</span> Measure of an aircrafts suitability for safe flight

In aviation, airworthiness is the measure of an aircraft's suitability for safe flight. Initial airworthiness is demonstrated by a certificate of airworthiness issued by the civil aviation authority in the state in which the aircraft is registered, and continuing airworthiness is achieved by performing the required maintenance actions.

Engine failure on takeoff (EFTO) is a situation, when flying an aircraft, where an engine has failed, or is not delivering sufficient power, at any time between brake release and the wheels leaving the ground / V2. The phases of flight are delineated to allow simplified standard procedures for different aircraft types to be developed. If an aircraft suffered engine failure on takeoff, the standard procedure for most aircraft would be to abort the takeoff.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aircraft flight manual</span> Document or data set containing information about aircraft

An aircraft flight manual (AFM) is a paper book or electronic information set containing information required to operate an aircraft of certain type or particular aircraft of that type. The information within an AFM is also referred to as Technical Airworthiness Data (TAWD). A typical flight manual will contain the following: operating limitations, Normal/Abnormal/Emergency operating procedures, performance data and loading information.

The minimum control speed (VMC) of a multi-engine aircraft is a V-speed that specifies the calibrated airspeed below which directional or lateral control of the aircraft can no longer be maintained, after the failure of one or more engines. The VMC only applies if at least one engine is still operative, and will depend on the stage of flight. Indeed, multiple VMCs have to be calculated for landing, air travel, and ground travel, and there are more still for aircraft with four or more engines. These are all included in the aircraft flight manual of all multi-engine aircraft. When design engineers are sizing an airplane's vertical tail and flight control surfaces, they have to take into account the effect this will have on the airplane's minimum control speeds.

This is a glossary of acronyms, initialisms and terms used for gliding and soaring. This is a specialized subset of broader aviation, aerospace, and aeronautical terminology. Additional definitions can be found in the FAA Glider Flying Handbook.
