Mike, make yourself a spreadsheet with the landing weight and all the
V-speeds. use the formula: V(?)landing weight = [squart root(Wlanding weight/Wgross weight)] * V? gross weight Where W is the weight and ? = best angle, x best rate, y glide stall clean, s stall dirty, so Also keep in mind that V-speeds are different when the gear is up and the gear is down. Some manuals will give you both the gear up and gear down Vx and Vy speeds, most do not. The PA28R-201RT, for example, From the POH, Section Four, Normal Procedures Vy = 97 gear up, flaps up = 79 gear down, flaps up Vx = 79 gear up, flaps up = 73 gear down, flaps up Remember, these are gross weight speeds (approximately 3600 pounds for the Saratoga, right?). |
