You can be sure that it was calculated for dry, and then set as general
limit.
Aircraft industry standards are not necessarily applied when they don't make

The manufacturor would probably state the weight condition that Va

The listing of all speeds at max gross weight is an aircraft industry
standard.

I just pulled out the POH for my LS6-b and page 2-2 lists 108 kts for the
rough air speed. There is no weight reference - your POH may vary.
