<h1>Lesson 6c - V-Speeds</h1>
<h2>Lesson Objective</h2>
<p>The candidate will learn the differences between Maneuvering Speed (V<sub>A</sub>), Normal Operating Speed (V<sub>NO</sub>), and Never-Exceed Speed(V<sub>NE</sub>). The candidate will identify what hazards are associated with each airspeed. The instructor and student will fly together in dual practice, and accelerate to V<sub>A</sub>, for at least a few moments, to get a feel for the stick sensitivity at this speed. Flight to V<sub>NE</sub> is <strong>NOT</strong> required. </p>
<h2>Regulatory Requirement</h2>

<li><strong>Private Pilot:</strong> <a href="https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/test_standards##Pilots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PTS</a> - V </li>
</ul>
<h2>Completion Standards</h2>
<p>The student must be able to perform:</p>
<ul>
<li>successful demonstration of flight to the V<sub>A</sub> and/or V<sub>NO</sub> speeds, appropriate for the conditions and the glider</li>
</ul>
<p>The student must be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>recite the maneuvering speed for the club gliders</li>
<li>explain the differences between Maximum Structural Crusing Speed and Maneuvering Speed</li>
<li>explain the hazards with rapid, excessive control movement <strong><u>below</u></strong> V<sub>A</sub> </li>
<li>explain the hazards associated with rapid control movement above V<sub>A</sub></li>
<li>explain the relationship between V<sub>NE</sub> and altitude. </li>
