Airspeed Indicator Markings

Airspeed indicator markings and their color-code significance are detailed, including ranges for flap operating, normal operating, and cautionary speeds.

Safety notes

  • Do not exceed VNE in any operation.
  • Do not exceed VC except in smooth air and with caution.
  • Avoid full or abrupt control movement above VA to prevent overstressing the aircraft.
  • Do not exceed VFE with flaps extended.

FLIGHT MANUAL FOR THE ZENAIR ZODIAC CH 601 XL (LTF-UL)¹ 2.1 Introduction Section 2 includes operating limitations, instrument markings and basic placards necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft, its engine, standard systems and standard equipment. Limitations for optional systems and equipment are shown in Section 9 and in Supplements. 2.2 Airspeed Airspeed limitations at MTOW and their operational significance are shown below: Speeds (for aircraft at 472.5 kg) CAS/EAS in km/h (Calibrated) IAS² in km/h (Indicated) Remarks VNE Never Exceed Speed 224 Do not exceed this speed in any operation. (VNE = .9 x VD) VC Maximum structural cruising speed 201 Do not exceed this speed except in smooth air, and then only with caution. (VC = VRA ≤ .9 x VNE) VA Maneuvering Speed 146 Do not make full or abrupt control movement above this speed, because under certain conditions the aircraft may be overstressed by full control movement. VFE Maximum Flap Extended speed 130 Do not exceed this speed with flaps extended. VS1 Stall Speed 73 Stall speed without flaps VS0 Stall Speed 63 Stall speed with flaps extended ¹ Symbols and Speeds applicable to aircraft operating in compliance with LTF-UL (2003) standards. ² Indicated Airspeed (IAS): As airspeed indicators and pitot tubes and lines can vary slightly from one aircraft to another, color markings and IAS (at sea level and standard pressure) should be checked and measured for every aircraft (enter appropriate IAS in the column provided above). Date of issue: July 31, 2009 Document Reference: Notice No: ZE-2009-03 Revision: 0.1 Replaces: Z601XLFMEN:2-1 2-1 Enter Revision 0.1 of this page and the next (2-1 and 2-2) in the Flight Manual of the Zodiac CH 601 XL and note the substitution on the “Record of substitution” (page ii) at the front of the manual. 2.3 Airspeed indicator markings Airspeed indicator markings and their color-code significance are shown below: Color Markings Symbols (defined by LTF-UL) CAS/EAS in km/h (Calibrated) IAS² in km/h (Indicated) Significance White Arc VSO × 1.1 to VFE 70 - 130 Flap Operating Range Green Arc VS1 × 1.1 to VRA 80 - 201 Normal Operating Range Yellow Line VA 146 See note below³ (√n1 × VS1 or 2 × VS1) Yellow Arc VC to VNE 201 - 224 Maneuvers must be conducted with caution and only in smooth air. Red Line VNE 224 Never Exceed Speed. Maximum speed for all operations. ¹ Symbols and Speeds applicable to aircraft operating in compliance with LTF-UL (2003) standards. ² Indicated Airspeed (IAS): As airspeed indicators and pitot tubes and lines can vary slightly from one aircraft to another, color markings and IAS (at sea level and standard pressure) should be checked and measured for every aircraft (enter appropriate IAS in the column provided above). ³ More about VA: VA is defined as VS1 × √n1 (LTF-UL 335.1). In plain language, VA is the maximum speed at which the controls may be fully (and smoothly) deflected in calm air as long as n1 (4 “g”) is not exceeded. Since most aircraft are not equipped with a “g” meter, full deflections “for fun” should be avoided; remember that aerobatics are prohibited in ultralights.
