What has to be considered regarding VNE?

  • A

    It may be exceeded only in smooth air.

  • B

    It must not be exceeded in any case.

  • C

    It depends on loading and turbulence whether it may be exceeded.

  • D

    It may be briefly exceeded in turbulent air.

VNE, or "Velocity Never Exceed," is the maximum safe speed an aircraft can fly. Exceeding this speed can lead to structural damage or loss of control, so VNE must never be exceeded. It is usually marked in red on the airspeed indicator, and it can change based on factors like the aircraft's weight and specific conditions. Pilots must always respect this limit to ensure safe operation and maintain control of the aircraft.
