both horizontal and vertical stabilizers. VX. Best angle-of-climb speed. The airspeed at which an airplane gains the greatest amount of altitude in a given distance. It is used during a short-field takeoff to clear an obstacle ... Best rate-of-climb speed. This airspeed provides the most altitude gain in a given period of time. VYSE. Best rate-of-climb speed with one engine inoperative. This airspeed provides the most altitude gain in a given period…

Positive climb performance occurs when an aircraft gains PE by increasing altitude. Two basic factors, or a combination of the two factors, contribute to positive climb performance in most aircraft: 1. The aircraft climbs (gains PE) using excess power above ... will clear obstacles. Maximum Rate of Climb (ROC), obtained at VY, provides climb performance to achieve the greatest altitude gain over time. Maximum ROC may not be sufficient to avoid obstacles in some situations, while maximum AOC may be sufficient…
- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Rate of Climb (ROC)
Rate of Climb (ROC) ROC is a comparison of altitude gained relative to the time needed to reach that altitude. ROC is simply the vertical component of the aircraft’s flight path velocity vector. For maximum ROC performance, a pilot ... flies the aircraft at VY so as to achieve a maximum gain in altitude over a given period of time. Maximum ROC expedites a climb to an assigned altitude. This gains the greatest vertical distance over a period of time…
