TEST: Determining Appropriate Airspeeds for Emergency Operation
Va
PROCEDURE:
  1. Determine your stall speed
  2. Va is defined as the stall speed of the wing at max gross weight x limiting load factor. A Falcon XP is designed for operation within the normal category weight/C.G. limits. Therefore, a Falcon XP is designed for a max load factor of 4.4g's.
  3. Load factor can be calculated as...:

    LF = Va2 / Vs2

  4. Therefore, for the Falcon XP, Va = square root (Vs2 x 4.4)
