rate (refer to Additional Role for the Elevator section). The airplane needs to gain speed at the expense of some altitude, moving from point 3 where the PS < 0 to point 4 where the PS > 0. The airplane ... terrain may be VX, the speed for best angle of climb. VX is slightly slower than VY, the speed for best rate of climb, and will result in a lower climb rate…
