In aviation, the maneuvering speed of an aircraft is an airspeed limitation at which the full deflection of the controls can be made at without risking structural damage. [1] The maneuvering speed of an aircraft is shown on a cockpit placard and in the aircraft's flight manual but is not commonly shown on the aircraft's airspeed indicator.

2023年10月12日 · Design maneuvering speed provides lots of protection. But even if you're flying below it, there's no excuse overcontrolling your plane. Flying with smoothness and accuracy is always your best bet.

2020年5月4日 · Most of the newer pilot’s operating handbooks publish two or three different maneuvering speeds for variable weight conditions. If yours doesn’t, try doing the following to compute a new one. For every 2-percent reduction in weight, reduce the maximum-weight maneuvering speed by 1 percent.

2024年3月23日 · Maneuvering speed, or V a, is an airspeed published by your aircraft's manufacturer that guarantees that your aircraft will stall before you reach the maximum certified g-load, under some very specific conditions.

2025年1月15日 · V-speeds are specific airspeeds that are defined for operational reasons, such as limitations (e.g., maximum flaps extended speed – VFE) or performance requirements (e.g., best rate of climb speed – VY). In other words, V-speeds serve as critical benchmarks that guide pilots in managing the aircraft’s performance and ensuring safety.

2019年11月19日 · The widely accepted definition of maneuvering speed (Va) is the speed at which an airplane will stall before exceeding its maximum load limit.

2024年2月9日 · Maneuvering speed refers to the maximum speed at which full deflections of flight controls like ailerons, rudders, and elevators may be used without risk of structural damage. Aircraft have a specific design maneuvering speed (Va) at which the limit load factor is equal to 1 g in smooth air.

2023年9月23日 · Maneuvering speed, denoted as Va, is a critical parameter for pilots to understand and adhere to in aviation. It represents the maximum speed at which an aircraft can be safely maneuvered without exceeding its structural limitations.

2023年7月7日 · Maneuvering speed is the speed at which the aircraft’s wing – operated at the critical angle of attack – produces a load factor equal to the aircraft’s certified limit load factor. In other words, stall and limit load factor are both reached at this same AOA that occurs at maneuvering speed.

Maneuvering speed is a crucial concept for flight safety, as it is associated with the potential of over-stressing the aircraft as a result of an abrupt control input. It is also a somewhat convoluted concept which invites misunderstandings that can lead to …
