V
MCG
– Minimum airspeed on the ground at which directional control
can be maintained when one engine suddenly becomes inoperative, using
only aerodynamic controls. VMCG is a function of engine thrust, which
varies with altitude and temperature. The VMCG presented in AFM Sec-
tion IV was determined for maximum thrust. VMCG = 89 KIAS.
V
MO
/M
MO
– Maximum operating limit speed. The calibrated speed
limit that may not be deliberately exceeded in normal flight operations.
V is expressed in knots and M in Mach number.
V
R
– Rotation speed. The speed at which rotation is initiated during
takeoff to attain the V
2
climb speed at or before a height of 35 ft above
runway surface is reached.
V
REF
– The landing approach airspeed at the 50-foot point with flaps in
landing position (full flaps) and landing gear extended (1.3 VSO).
V
S
– Stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the
aircraft is controllable.
V
SB
– Maximum operating speed with speedbrakes extended.
V
SO
– Stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing
configuration.
V
S1
– Stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed obtained in a
specific configuration.
V
ZF
– Zero flap maneuvering speed. Equivalent to V
REF
+ 27
KIAS.
V
1
– Takeoff decision speed (critical engine failure recognition speed).
The distance to continue a takeoff to 35 ft does not exceed the sched-
uled takeoff field length if recognition occurred at V1 (accelerate- go).
The distance to bring the aircraft to a full stop (accelerate stop) does not
exceed the scheduled takeoff field length provided maximum braking
begins at V
1
.
V
2
– Takeoff safety speed. This climb speed is the actual speed at 35 ft
above the runway surface as demonstrated in flight during takeoff with
one engine inoperative.
V
35
– The actual speed at 35 ft above the runway surface as demon-
strated in flight during takeoff with both engines operating.
Wind – The wind velocities recorded as variables on the charts of the
AFM are understood as the headwind or tailwind components of the
actual winds at 30 ft above the runway surface (i.e., tower winds).
