Discussion

A pilot argues that flying below VA makes the aircraft safe from any structural overload. The claim is

  • A.Correct only above 10,000 feet
  • B.Wrong
  • C.Too strong; it covers one input only
  • D.Correct in all circumstances

Answer: C

Below VA a single full deflection stalls the wing before the limit is reached, which is real protection. It does not extend to abrupt control reversals, combined manoeuvres in more than one axis, or gusts on top of a manoeuvre, all of which can still over-stress the aircraft.
