Thomas L. 1 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I read in the Manual-Twin-Otter-Extended-Vol3-Checklists.pdf page 3. Airspeed limits CAS row 3 the Vp in 20.000 feet ? Can you explain me how you can calculat an aquaplaning at 20.000 feet ? I think you should chance Vp to VA . VA stand for Design maneuvering speed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuvering_speed Information about V Speed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds a good test pilot is always in training Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs Herman 1591 Posted July 13, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 13, 2013 Vp appears correct. It's on the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) here. I know it's Canadian and Viking holds the TC now, but the info in the FAA TCDS comes from Transport Canada and is authoritative. As Thomas says, it's new to me as well, but then I'll also agree with his test pilot saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
