Talk:Beechcraft Skipper

Vne
The Vne is certainly not 143kts. I fly skippers as a student and Im fairly sure the Vne is 106kts. Youd have to be in a dive at full throttle to hit 140kts!!! Irokin 10:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Ive been doing a bit of research. Seems the 143kts Vne comes from one source that appears to have been copied all over the internet. In every case the data is layed out virtually the same. Also these sites say the Vno (max structural cruise) is 109kts. Ive found other pages that say the vne is 106kts. I'll check my skippers operating manual next time I fly.

Sorry you've been wasting your time on this. (It's likely that the data you've seen around the internet is copied from Wikipedia. That happens a lot.) I've flown Skippers as an instructor; they're great little airplanes. The Vne of the Beech 77 definitely is 143kts. (You were probably thinking of some other V-speed, or have the wrong definition of Never Exceed Speed. That's one of the things about being a student. There's a lot to learn.) It's by design that you would have to be in a dive to hit the red line. If you want to look this up, you'll find it on page 2-3 of Section II: Limitations in the Pilot's Information Manual/Handbook. Better yet, just look at the airspeed indicator; the red line marks Vne. SkipperPilot 23:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Yea thanks for that, of course you are correct :) Im now completely confused as to where I got 106kts from?!. It does make sense that it would have to be in a dive to hit it now that I think about it...but yea Ive still got alot to learn. Thanks again Irokin 09:56, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
