Not being critical but "vitesse" is pronounced, vE-tess.

English was never my strongest subject in school haha

Well made, simple, clear, non-annoying background music, good background footage, clear mic, no stutters. Idc how many subs you have, 300 or 30M, this is a fantastic video. Thank you so much for explaining these to me!

Appreciate the kind words! Thank you!

Good explanations, thanks!

Excellent video and great and simple explanations of the speeds (btw, vitesse is actually pronounced vee-tez, not vee-teesee).

Thank you! I was always a math guy in school anyway... lol

Va isn't the speed you aim for in turbulence. Flying at or below VA, means that the airplane will stall before the structure is damaged by excessive loads. If you encounter a gust that causes a sudden, significant increase in load factor while flying above VA, the aircraft could experience structural failure, so make sure you are slower than Va. Think of it as driving over a speed bump. Too fast and you break your car and driving slower the suspension can handle it.

While all of what you said is true, you would* also want to be at or below Va if encountering turbulence. Your example even kind of supports the idea of going slower though rough air.

Odd, the displayed gauge didn't seem to have the same v-speeds, looks like Vs0 is about 48 and Vs1 is 55.

The most important speed is not a V speed. It is a the speed that separates general aviation (with high accident rates) from airlines and excellent safety records. This speed is: DMMS: Defined minimum maneuvering speed. This is similar to the speed that airline pilots are referencing when they talk about maneuvering speed being a minimum, not a maximum. Calculate the number as 1.404 times VS, to account for a margin above stall speed in up to a 30-degree bank. Engine failure on takeoff requires you to "push" immediately and instinctively to this per-calculated speed for control while maneuvering up to 30 degrees of bank safely. If you want to live and not stall spin into a ball of flames you need to practice this concept for all low altitude operations.

Mentions V1 at the start of video, doesnt explain what it means. (or v2)

V1 and V2 aren't necessary knowledge for someone who is in private pilot training. This typically only applies to larger aircraft such as jets. Here is what they mean if you are curious: V1: This is the speed at which if there were an engine failure, the flight would have to continue. If an engine failure occurs before V1, the takeoff should be aborted, if engine failure happens AFTER V1, the flight should continue and not be aborted. Also known as the speed when the pilot "commits to fly" V2: This is the speed at which an aircraft can safely climb with one engine. Also called the takeoff safety speed.

Im confused. How are these related to vx vy va vso etc? Im in the US. Are these for another country?

The video explains the different types of v-speeds and what they mean. This isn't just for one country. It's universal.
