Default Landing speeds for naval aircraft?

Hi Harry;

Been fine and thanks for asking.
Just decided after six years of dealing with some of the personalities on
RAM that when a newsgroup begins to change your OWN personality, it's time
to take some time away and regroup so to speak. :-))

Sorry to jump in late.


I always understood the AOA units were somehow calibrated but
arbitrary,
so the 139 KIAS was the nominal speed that corresponded to on-speed AOA
with full flaps and 50,000 pounds max-trap weight.


Units should be either a percentage of the lift coefficient curve for the
wing or a percentage of the AOA vane as determined by the OBC depending
on
the type if I remember....but I'm getting old :-)).
