I would say you got ripped off when you paid for your training.

= Vfs or V final segment. I suppose 't' could stand for target.

Actually it seems like you got ripped off. Vt is threshold speed, Vfto is final T/O.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Yeah. You got ripped.

Vermont Speed.

The speed it that would be required to cross the Vermont border in one hour.

 

[SkyNation]

Aeronautical Engineer's Data Book

page 133 defines it as cruise speed.

Please don't tell me you were looking for an intelligent response on here. You'd be a lot better off looking it up yourself.

We're not engineers...http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/V+speeds

For a better reference..."Handling the Big Jets" by D.P. Davies P.8 and 210

I'd expect a SKW pilot to be a little smarter McNugent???

All of you are wrong. See this link for a definition of Vt:

As well as when you need to start putting on your flannel and birkenstocks, and the women need to stop shaving their pits.

Vt

While not quite as humorous as Vermont speed (that was good), Vt when it comes to the CRJ is final take-off speed. It's really called Vfto, but the speed tape abbreviates it with Vt to save space.

It's your safe single engine climb speed with 0 flaps. If you lose an engine during take-off, you will climb to 1000' (give or take a few feet depending on terrain at various airports) at V2. Once you reach that given altitude, you will level off and accelerate to Vt raising flaps along the way, then continue the climb at Vt. That speed should give you adequate stall protection while you maneuver to your chosen airport.

I know, it's sad I have nothing better to do on a Sat night.
