amount of altitude in a given distance. It is used during a short-field takeoff to clear an obstacle. VY. Best rate-of-climb speed. This airspeed provides the most altitude gain in a given period of time. VYSE. Best…

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…

VX, may provide climb performance to ensure an aircraft 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…

stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the aircraft is controllable in a specified configuration. VY—the speed at which the aircraft obtains the maximum increase in altitude per unit of time. This best ROC speed normally…
