V-Speeds for Cessna 172S
- Vne (Never Exceed Speed): 163 knots. This is the maximum safe airspeed for the aircraft.
- Vno (Maximum Structural Cruising Speed): 126 knots. This is the maximum airspeed the aircraft can maintain without structural damage during normal flight.
- Vle (Maximum Flap Extended Speed - 10°): 110 knots. This is the maximum safe airspeed when flaps are deployed to 10 degrees.
- Vle (Maximum Flap Extended Speed - 15-30°): 85 knots. This is the maximum airspeed when flaps are deployed to 15-30 degrees.
- Vy (Best Rate of Climb Speed): 76 knots. This airspeed provides the fastest possible altitude gain (vertical climb).
- Vx (Best Angle of Climb Speed): 62 knots. This airspeed gives the steepest possible climb angle (climb over ground).
- Vref (Landing Approach Speed - No Flaps): 65 knots. This is the recommended airspeed during the final approach to landing with no flaps deployed.
- V1 (Best Angle of Climb Speed - 10° Flaps): 56 knots. This is the best angle of climb speed with 10 degrees flaps deployed.
- Vst (Stall Speed in Clean Configuration): 48 knots. This is the lowest airspeed at which the aircraft maintains lift without stall.
- Vso (Stall Speed in Landing Configuration): 45 knots. This is the lowest airspeed at which the aircraft maintains lift in a landing configuration.
