He is in Riverside, CA., and I have found him to be quite nice to deal with.

Is it: 1). the maximum speed you can fly at with the flaps already down, or 2). the maximum speed, below which you can start to lower the flaps Also, what is the difference between: Vmo (Maximum Operating limit speed) Vno (Maximum structural cruising speed) and was this formerly known as Normal Operating speed? Sir Barry, Sorry for taking so long to reply. My day job gets in the way at times. Hope you found the info you're looking for. If not, or, at the risk of repeating what you've already learned: Vfe / Vfo is the same on the Aero Commanders. Vfe is the maximum flap extended speed and Vfo is the maximum speed you can operate the flaps. Some aircraft may have actuators that can't push against a certain airload (that would be an example of Vfo) and some aircraft have flap tracks, hardware, etc. that would rip off beyond a certain speed. That would give you an idea of Vfe. "Vfe = Velocity Flaps Extended Speed - keeps you from ripping the flaps off when deployed but also takes into account the additional lift effect that flaps have on limit loads during maneuvering or gust encounters. Aircraft must withstand 2g positive limit load factor and gusts of 25fps with flaps extended at this speed." The same would apply to Vlo / Vle for landing gear. An aircraft that has doors that open, then close after gear extention would have a Vlo lower than Vle, for example. With the Commanders, the nose gear doors and nacelle doors remain open in the slip stream, so that's what probably limits the Vlo/Vle in our aircraft. Not sure the exact engineering definition of Vmo is, but here's Vno and that may shead some light: Vne = Velocity Never Exceed - do not exceed this speed at any time. Vno = Maximum Structural Cruising Speed - a limit that takes into account gust encounters at high cruising speeds, do not exceed this speed except in smooth air and then only with extreme caution. You were correct on Va, Vle, Vfe, etc. Anything else we can help with? Anything anyone can add? Wing Commander Gordon
