Which of the following is NOT true of the design manoeuvring speed VA?

  • A.Below it a full elevator pull cannot exceed the limit load factor
  • B.It equals the stalling speed times the square root of the limit load factor
  • C.It is the fastest speed for a maximum-rate turn
  • D.Above it the wing stalls before the structural limit is reached

Answer: D

Correct answer: Above it the wing stalls before the structural limit is reached

That has the comparison the wrong way round. Below VA a full control deflection stalls the wing before the limit load factor is reached, which is what makes the manoeuvre safe; above VA the structural limit arrives first, so full deflection can break the aeroplane. The other three statements, including \( V_A = V_s\sqrt{n} \), are correct.
