Well, yes, flight testing for instance. VNE is 10% below a tested
dive speed. Alos, as I posted before, some airplanes had an emergency
dive speed. Vd. I'd have to look it up to see, though. In any case,
it's not a legal limit, it;'s a design limitation.


I know one or two jump pilots who drop their load and are back on the
deck picking up the next load before the first have all landed


I doubt they're going past VNE, though. No need, really. I wouldn't want to
be footing their engine bills, though!
