Airplane Velocity Capabilities

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Rodney Fielitz I'm a certified flight instructor in Cottonwood, AZ and I'm here to give you the basics of what it takes to become a pilot. A BY is best rated for speed you have a VS1 which is your style speed clean, VFE is your flap extension speed, we have a VFO flap operating speed, VNE is you never exceed speed and there's a lot more to them. And a lot of our color coated on your airspeed indicator in an airplane have a wide arch and a green arch and a red arch and you also have a yellow arch. The white arch is your flap operating range, the green arch is the normal operator, the yellow is caution, red is danger never exceed, and during these different speeds we have to play with the wind. We have to work with the turbulence it's not always smooth out there when we fly so if we're in the yellow arch it's a caution range, it means we're obstruction damage and we possibly happen if we get to turbulent, with all these V speeds that we have it will come in second nature to you in time, it just takes time learn them."
