172 vspeeds

[BobDDuck]

Does anybody have the vspeeds for a 1970's cessna. 1979 would be best, but anything around there is pretty much the same. The stupid POH I have has the page ripped out. Blah.

C172N - ('77-'80)

Vso- 41 KIAS
Vs- 47
Vr- 55
Vx- 59
Vglide- 65
Vy- 73
Vfe- 85 (10) 110 (>10)
Va- 80-97
Vno- 128
Vne- 160

That's what my book says, but I've seen them vary by a few knots in other pubs.

Thanks!

And you know the airspeed indicator is absolutely accurate in a 20+ old airplane so those few knots could be important

This could be my just waking up self (yeah, I know it's one PM on the east coast, but I worked late last night

), but shouldn't this be:

110 (10) 85 (> 10) ?

As it turns out I got my hands on a 1971 (I knew the plane looked older then '79) POH and all the speeds are different by a fair amount. Everything seems to be around 10 knots faster. Vs is 57 instead of 47 and so on. Oh well.

if everything is 10 units faster, you might want to double check and maker sure the '71 POH isn't giving you the values in miles per hour.

You better look closer, if it is a 1971, it could very well have speeds in MPH not KIAS

Beat me to it while I was actually doing some work.

 

[BobDDuck]

Well that makes a whole lot of sense. Thanks.
