FlyingMonkey Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm pretty sure my POH has no speed listed higher than Vne. But this POH I looked at today: http://www.theandyzone.com/flight/lsa/docs/CT_POH_2006.pdf contains the following in the speeds section: --------- 4.4 Never exceed speed (VNE) VNE : Never-exceed speed VBRS: Maximum emergency parachute system operating speed VNE: 145KCAS 269kmCAS VBRS: 160KCAS 296kmCAS --------- I have never before seen a specific BRS activation maximum speed in print, and always assumed that such a number was equal to Vne. Has anyone else seen this before? I'm 95% sure it's not in the POH that came with my 2007 CTSW, though this could be an earlier or later POH revision. I will check my POH next time I'm at the hangar.

FastEddieB Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 In the Cirrus I believe it's 135 kias. Let me check... I was close. SR22 "Maximum Demonstrated Depolyment Speed" is 133 kias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 BRS has a max speed pull. The 160 knots (184 MPH) is it. This has always been out there, but maybe not as published as other numbers. I believe the factory tested VNE for our plane is up there too.

bseager Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I have always been confused about the variation in Vne, I have a 2006 CTSW here in Canada which has a POH Vne listed as 162 knots. I believe it is the exact same airframe as the CTSW's in the US, just operated under Canadian Advanced Ultralight regulations that limit max weight to 1232 lbs. The only difference is we have no speed or altitude limitations and can reflex flaps to -12 and have a constant speed prop. Can anyone explain the Vne difference? Should give comfort to you all that the real Vne is 162 knots and I have flown it that fast and nothing fell off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Wings Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 How did you go that fast? Were you descending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I sure wish Canada would allow U.S. Light Sport Pilots to fly there. If I understand correctly it has to do with the lack of a medical. What is going to happen when the PP medical (basically) goes away? Our EAA group has a great relationship with the Winnipeg RAA group, they visit us and we meet at the International Peace Gardens, but I cannot go to Winnipeg.

bseager Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 from my POH Jacques, is your airspeed indicator red line at 145 knots as well? Seems like if the aircraft was potentially destined for the US for sale the POH has the lower Vne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Nope ASI red line is 162 kts don't know why POH says less when I ordered mine in 2004 there were no US market...yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastEddieB Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Jacques you have an special plane Apparently. One was or the other, the two Vne speeds should be brought into agreement. There must be one correct speed for his particular plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 well, you made me search my files... the POH I took the above info is a PDF and is dated February 28th 2005 with a revision on Oct 5th 2005. but....I found a paper copy '' Flight and Maintenance Manual '' CT2K & CTSW which is dated February 28th 2005 (only) and THIS ONE indicate a 162 kts VNE also, in the PDF version, the yellow arc start at 120kts,. while on the paper version, yellow arc start at 130 kts My ''guess'' is that the lower speed version is for the US version at higher gross weight [1320 vs 1232 lbs ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 The POH is the one that rules in the US due to 91.327. Depending on canadian rules, the POH probably rules there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our EAA group has a great relationship with the Winnipeg RAA group, they visit us and we meet at the International Peace Gardens, but I cannot go to Winnipeg. The issue is related to mutual recognition of a Private license or higher. I have a Private and can fly my CT into the US but if I just had the Ultra Light Permit I could not. I believe it is related to both countries recognizing a standard of training associated with the Private license and the associated medical that validates it. I would love to see Canada adopt the US LSA medical requirement and eventually head the same direction with the Private. It will be interesting to see howTransport Canada reacts once the US has a bunch of Private pilots without current medicals wanting to cross the border.

Doug G. Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I was the first LSA trainee at the school I attended. With the exception of night training I don't think they changed a thing. ???? Over the years my wife and I have spent a lot of time in Canada. I would live to be able to fly there.

deckofficer Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'd like to fly to Alaska sometime...the offshore coastal route avoiding Canadian airspace does not appeal to me in the least. Me too. I used to live in Valdez before our airport started hosting the annual STOL contest and would like to get back to visit friends and watch the contest. Doesn't Canada want our tourist dollars?

I used to live in Valdez before our airport started hosting the annual STOL contest and would like to get back to visit friends and watch the contest. Doesn't Canada want our tourist dollars? The issue is probably more related to the bureaucracy not knowing quite how to handle the Sport Pilot rules in relation to the Canadian licensing structure. If all of their licensing is ICAO based and they like that consistency, it's hard to justify an exception for the very few extra dollars we could generate. If the medical reform goes through and many thousands more pilots in the USA are flying without medicals, then Canada might feel the need for a rules change. Hopefully we Sport Pilots could piggyback on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
