The best angle of climb speed (VX), flaps 0, is [blank_start]87[blank_end] KIAS. The best rate of climb speed (VY), flaps 0, is [blank_start]100[blank_end] KIAS. The best single-engine rate of climb speed (VYSE), flaps 10, is [blank_start]80[blank_end] KIAS.

The maximum flaps extended speed (VFE) for flaps 10 is [blank_start]103[blank_end] KIAS, whereas for greater than flaps 10, it is [blank_start]93[blank_end] KIAS.

State the maximum operating speed (VMO) for the following altitudes: Sea level to 6,700 feet: [blank_start]166[blank_end] KIAS 10,000 feet: [blank_start]156[blank_end] KIAS 15,000 feet: [blank_start]141[blank_end] KIAS

The maneuvring speed (VA) between sea level and 18,000 feet is [blank_start]132[blank_end] KIAS and the gust penetration speed (VB) between sea level and 18,000 feet is [blank_start]132[blank_end] KIAS.
