V speeds for 1951 170A???

[pif_sonic]

Does anyone have a list of all the V speeds for a 1951 170A?

As I recall other than the single page Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) there aren't any official V speeds. You do have the required AFM don't you.

There aren't many speeds in the AFM either.

I know from time to time certain speeds have been discussed and perhaps someone has them all in one place.

I just fly the speeds the experience has shown me to work for me.

Bruce,

I do have the AFM, but like you said there is not many V speeds listed. I flew the plane and documented the stall speeds with and without flaps. The main speeds I was concerned about are the maneuvering speed and best glide speed. I was wondering if the speeds will be similar to an earlier model 172. I hope nobody get upset that I mention a 172 on the 170 site. :D :D

I am going to install a Horton STOL Kit in May, so all the speeds my change anyway. If any body has a Horton STOL Kit on their 170A, let me know what V speeds you have documented.

While the speeds are not specifically mentioned, the AFM and Owners Manual infer that manuevering speed is 115 mph for the landplane, and 110 for the seaplane. Best glide is 76 (same as best climb.)
