Maneuvering speed (Va speed) Explained - [Can You Brake Your Plane If You Pull Back The Yoke?]

This video is about the Maneuvering speed, also called Va.
By the end of the video, you will know what this speed is, why it is important to fly below it and what are the implications when flying in turbulence.
The Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which the plane will stall before exceeding its limit load factor should a sudden increase on the angle of attack occur.
In order to understand in full the Va we need to know what the limit load factor is and what the critical angle of attack is.
The Limit load factor is the maximum G force that your aircraft can absorb before experiencing structural damage and the critical angle of attack is the angle of attack at which your wings will stall regardless of your speed.
Watch the full Critical Angle Of Attack KZbin Video by clicking the link below:

So, if you are flying at the Maneuvering speed or slower and you pull the yoke all the way back you will reach your critical angle of attack before exceeding your limit load factor.
Thus, due to the stall, your G force will be reduced and your aircraft will not suffer a structural damage.
However, if you fly faster than your Maneuvering speed you will reach your limit load factor before your stall, thus experiencing potential damage on the plane.
The Va speed decreases if the weight decreases, so a light aircraft will have a slower Maneuvering speed.

This video is very helpful in aviation world.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Thanks for watching

[@kidsaviationmentour]

Perfect explanation 😃

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Thanks for watching!

[@dwighttaylor5107]

Thanks always great content.

[@RaivoltG]

You do such a great job explaining these different principles! I'm not a pilot but I read and watch anything and everything about aviation. I know there are certain procedures and limits that need to be followed but the reason why isn't always clear, at least to me. It makes such a difference if you know why something should be done, and not just doing it because you were told to. Being able to visualize what happens, the dangers or benefits of procedures has a major impact on how seriously you take what you are being taught. I'm paraphrasing this A TON but telling someone to fly slower, at a higher AOA and 1G, (like this video) vs faster and shallower AOA doesn't create any urgency or drive home the importance as to why. When you understand the protection you get from the first example and the danger that could result from the second example, the seriousness becomes very clear! Not many people are able to educate others as effectively as you are! I'm in the USA, initially your accent made it a little hard to follow, but after a couple of videos, I adjusted and don't even notice it anymore! The time and hard work you put into your videos is apparent and much appreciated! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for explaining, this speed was something I did not understand properly before watching this video

[@PILOTCLIMB]

I'm happy the video helped you!! Thanks for watching!

[@uptopaviation]

Thanks! Your explanation was very clear and helped me a lot

[@PILOTCLIMB]

That's great! You are very welcome

Well explained , I am a PPL Most people they don’t understand the principles and get there license like a 🦜

[@ilyaredkin4172]

I finally understood 😂 Thank you, kind man.

What is simplest way to define maneuvering speed? And limit load factor?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

The simplest way I can explain it is how I explained in the video

[@strato6049]

Hey captain, first time on thus channel and a new subscriber. quick question just to confirm. Does that mean that below Va you will stall first before reaching limit load factor while above Va you will reach limit load factor before reaching critical angle of attack?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Correct! Welcome on board!

[@sohankantimahanthi]

Could you also do a video on Vb and how is it different from Va

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Thanks for watching!! I'll take your suggestion under consideration !!! Have a great day

[@steffenleo5997]

Good Day Capt Gabriele,this Va manoevering speed is called also corner speed, is it right?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Are you referring to the coffin corner?

[@steffenleo5997]

@@PILOTCLIMB actually no Capt Gabriele, i see video on youtube about V-g diagram and stated Vma (manouvering speed) is also call corner speed...

[@sentinel1208]

Hi sir, do you mind explaining the difference between maneuvering speed in GA/light aircraft and an airliner like the 737? It seems like Va is a limiting speed in GA aircraft but is a minimum speed for different flap configurations in the 737

[@PILOTCLIMB]

I take your suggestion into consideration for a future content

[@user-px8zu3ty4d]

very appreciate captain, these basics is that what we need as pilot, one question, according to this limit G force and critical AOA issue, it that why when we encountering turbulence on 737-800 we need to reduce speed to 280 kts according to the Munual, Is that the reson we compomise the limit g force and critical AOA, or some other reasons? thank you very much.

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Many thanks for watching and for the support!! Reducing the speed in turbulence will increase the margins, the 280kt or 0.76 is the best penetration turbulence speed of the 737 this will give you good margins from both low speed and high speed.
