VNE vs altitude: glider specs vs rules of thumb
Flying a glider at or near Vne is pretty risky given that we fly most
often in turbulent air.Â* Besides, your rate of descent increases more
rapidly the faster you go.Â* Better to do better final glide planning.
My 2 cents...

So the S80 does have an alert for VNE.I assume at calculated TAS.
So I'm looking to put in the VNE alert with a safety factor of 85 to 90% of POH specified VNE
