  less than this does not provide negative lift capability sufficient to damage the aircraft from excessive flight loads. The limit airspeed (or redline speed) is a design reference point for the aircraft—this aircraft is limited ... flight is attempted beyond the limit airspeed, structural damage or structural failure may result from a variety of phenomena. The aircraft in flight is limited to a regime of airspeeds and Gs that do not exceed the limit (or redline…

  same manner as those mentioned for an excess weight condition. It is vital to comply with weight and balance limits established for all aircraft. Operating above the maximum weight limitation compromises the structural integrity of the aircraft and can adversely ... undesirable characteristic. This makes it easy for the pilot to inadvertently overstress an aircraft. Stability and Center of Gravity Limits for the location of the CG are established by the manufacturer. These are the fore and aft limits beyond which…

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › High Speed Flight › Speed Ranges

  VMO/MMO is defined as the maximum operating limit speed. VMO is expressed in knots calibrated airspeed (KCAS), while MMO is expressed in Mach number. The VMO limit is usually associated with operations at lower altitudes and deals with structural loads ... flutter. The MMO limit is associated with operations at higher altitudes and is usually more concerned with compressibility effects and flutter. At lower altitudes, structural loads and flutter are of concern; at higher altitudes, compressibility effects and flutter…

  Airspeed Indicator Markings Aircraft weighing 12,500 pounds or less, manufactured after 1945, and certificated by the FAA are required to have ASIs marked in accordance with a standard color-coded marking system. This system of color-coded markings enables ... pilot to determine at a glance certain airspeed limitations that are important to the safe operation of the aircraft. For example, if during the execution of a maneuver, it is noted that the airspeed needle is in the yellow…
