V Speeds

Recently, posted:

So here is what happens with VNO. People like acronyms. So those who
were taught that VNO is Normal operation speed needed words that
matched VNO. For those of us who are anal retentive and yes I am one
of those people because I must follow strict interpretation of
regulations because I am required to do so, we'll always know that
VNO is Maximum structural cruising speed. Look in FAR part 1 under
definitions.

So... your response to Jose's riddle is that "it's VNO because they called
it VNO"?

I would think that the "anal retentive" response would actually supply an
answer to how that acronym was derived, since that was the question that
was asked. We all know that we just have to memorize those things that
make no logical sense. ;-)

If there is no practical explanation, then it could be argued that it's just
"trivia."

Actually, an "anal retentive" response would recognize that VNO is not
likely an acronym at all. It might be an abbreviation or
initialization, but not very likely an acronym. But then again, only
an "anal retentive" would notice! g

VA is where military vets get their benefits from, also a southern
state

VC were the guys in the black pajamas carrying Kalashnikovs

VD is what you end up with after buying that skanky chick too many
drinks

VH was a huge rock group from the 80's

VMU is the speed you rotate at to avoid the cow on the runway

V2 was a German rocket from WW2


I feel better now... Long day at work ya know...

.... and V8 is what you drink before a flight, when you can't have 151.

It's much like "METAR", which stands for "Aviation Routine Weather
Report." How the hell, you might ask? In this case, i happen to know
that METAR was derived from some french words. As for Vno, I don't
know.

You're both wrong. It's a small red light (I have a digital tach).
See where being anal retentive gets you?

According to wikipedia, "METAR stands for METeorological Aerodrome
Report"

Change Aerodrome to Airport and you have the English version! g
