Speeds
- VAManoeuvring speedBelow it, a full control deflection will not overstress the airframe (at maximum weight).
- 121–153 kt
- VFEMax flaps extendedHighest speed with flaps down. Top of the white arc.
- 112–147 kt
- VLEMax gear extendedHighest speed with the landing gear down.
- 170 kt
- VMOMax operating speedSpeed limit of a turbine aircraft in knots; higher up, the Mach limit (MMO) applies instead.
- 251 kt
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).
