Not being critical but "vitesse" is pronounced, vE-tess.

Mentions V1 at the start of video, doesnt explain what it means. (or v2)

Va isn't the speed you aim for in turbulence. Flying at or below VA, means that the airplane will stall before the structure is damaged by excessive loads. If you encounter a gust that causes a sudden, significant increase in load factor while flying above VA, the aircraft could experience structural failure, so make sure you are slower than Va. Think of it as driving over a speed bump. Too fast and you break your car and driving slower the suspension can handle it.

Well made, simple, clear, non-annoying background music, good background footage, clear mic, no stutters. Idc how many subs you have, 300 or 30M, this is a fantastic video. Thank you so much for explaining these to me!

Excellent video and great and simple explanations of the speeds (btw, vitesse is actually pronounced vee-tez, not vee-teesee).

[chrisschack]

Odd, the displayed gauge didn't seem to have the same v-speeds, looks like Vs0 is about 48 and Vs1 is 55.

The most important speed is not a V speed. It is a the speed that separates general aviation (with high accident rates) from airlines and excellent safety records. This speed is: DMMS: Defined minimum maneuvering speed. This is similar to the speed that airline pilots are referencing when they talk about maneuvering speed being a minimum, not a maximum. Calculate the number as 1.404 times VS, to account for a margin above stall speed in up to a 30-degree bank. Engine failure on takeoff requires you to "push" immediately and instinctively to this per-calculated speed for control while maneuvering up to 30 degrees of bank safely. If you want to live and not stall spin into a ball of flames you need to practice this concept for all low altitude operations.

Im confused. How are these related to vx vy va vso etc? Im in the US. Are these for another country?
