All 'V1' means to me anymore is the speed at which I'll continue with the take-off, and 'V2' is now the speed at which I'll safely climb away at to my one engine acceleration altitude before doing any flap retraction procedures.. Geez I need to go gliding again!

And there you have it !!!! the young people of today have no sense of adventure, back in my day there would be a gaggle of 20 or more V1's all in the same thermal waiting for the gate to open, ( and you had to cross at just over 3,000 feet, regardless of what height the thermals were going to ) and when you got to the turnpoint the V1 would blow up. And you tell that to the juniors of today and they wont believe ya.... JR ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Jones To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.
