AIRSPEEDS
2. AIRSPEEDS
2.1. NORMAL OPERATIONS
The following airspeeds are those which are significant for normal operations,
with reference to both MTOW: 1180 kg and 1230 kg (if Supplement A19 - In-
creased MTOW @1230 KG - is applicable).
Rotation Speed (in takeoff, V
R
)
Best Angle-of-Climb Speed (V
X
)
Best Rate-of-Climb speed (V
Y
)
2.2. SINGLE ENGINE TRAINING
V
SSE
is a speed selected as training aid for pilots in the handling of multi-engine aircraft.
It is the minimum speed for intentionally rendering on engine inoperative in flight. This
minimum speed provides the margin the manufacturer recommends for us when inten-
tionally performing engine inoperative manoeuvres during training. The best practice to
perform single engine training is to retard one engine to the flight parameters equivalent
to a dead engine.
A simulated feather condition is obtained with propeller lever full forward and
throttle lever set at 13.5 in Hg MAP at 70-90 KIAS and 2000-4000 ft (density alti-
tude).
Recommended safe simulated OEI speed
(V
SSE
)
Keep speed above V
SSE
for simulated OEI training operations.
