- V2Take-off safety speedMinimum speed to climb at with one engine failed, reached by 35 ft above the runway.
- 150–190 kt
- VREFReference landing speedTarget speed over the threshold, typical value at maximum landing weight.
- 130–160 kt
- VLEMax gear extendedHighest speed with the landing gear down.

A range runs from light to maximum weight, or across the flap settings for VFE. The exact speed depends on weight, flaps and conditions.
Typical published values for the named variant, for learning only. Always fly with the aircraft's own flight manual (POH/AFM).
