• Normal takeoff, flaps up?• Best rate of climb (Vy)?• Best angle of climb (Vx)?• Maneuvering speed, gross
weight (Va)?• Never exceed speed (Vne)?

Recommended Air Speeds
Know your airplane – Arrow III
VA is the maximum speed for full and abrupt use of the controls without risk of structural damage.– Decreases as weight decreases– Lighter weights are subject to rapid acceleration
from gusts and turbulence
Reduce if lighter than max. gross weight – 10 to 15 knots is a good place to start.

“As the witness ran toward the runway, he saw the airplane’s flaps drag on the runway pavement. Shortly thereafter, he heard engine power increase; the airplane’s nose pitched down and the propeller contacted the runway. The airplane climbed, banked left, struck trees located about 500 feet before the departure end of the runway and continued to climb.”
The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause(s) of this accident to include: “The pilot’s improper decision to abort the landing after the airplane contacted the runway. A factor in the accident was the pilot’s failure to ensure the landing gear was extended during the landing.”
Retractable Landing Gear – Up or Down?
Know your airplane – Arrow III
Landing gear airspeeds: Landing Gear (Vle) Max. Gear Extend - 129 Kts.Gear extensions will occur below (approx.) - 103 Kts.Speeds will vary from 78 Kts. To 103 Kts. depending on power
settings and altitude.
Minimum gear retraction speed (at full power) - 78 Kts.This speed increases with reduced power and/or increased
altitude.
