The SAFE Library

Resources Available to Members
Access to the Library is an important benefit of membership in SAFE. eNews will now include a semi-regular feature with excerpts of material contributed by SAFE members for the benefit of other SAFE members. "There are a lot of Va definitions out there, including the textbook one
that is delivered by rote when a student is asked what Va (Maneuvering
Speed) is. Unfortunately, most of them do not relate to the true
understanding of this 'life saving' speed. The best definition, albeit
also the shortest, is - turbulence penetration speed - the speed you
should get to as soon as possible when significant turbulence is
encountered. But is it?" --Turbulence - Do You Know Your Va? by Alan Davis, MI Emeritus
To access the full article and the rest of the Library, log onto the SAFE website and follow Members Only > Library. |
