    V1, V2 & Vr

    Hi Roberto,
    Who works out the V1 V2 & Vr speeds for t/o & approach? Is it the mcdu after u have put all the info in? I think i have seen the approach speeds worked out (is this right?) in the mcdu.


    Thanks

    I am sure this is the case with the AB too.... Done with the MCDU... Pilot may double check...

    I would agree with these fine Gents. As the V1, VR, V2 are all based on a formula taking into account OAT, ZFW, GW and Fuel Temp etc.

    Definitely calculated by the MCDU, however the pilots do have a Matrix Graph they can use to check.

    Ummmm Skunky!!???.... I think they have put a FMC in some of the 727's that are still in service... So you could stop using paper!

    Private and corporate 727's have been retro-fitted in many cases. Virtually the entire avionics suite is replaced during this. $$$$:

    I'll stick with the paper though.

    V1 V2 and Vr are calculated by a LPC (Less Paper Cockpit laptop on board) which has all the weather and loading data entered into it. It then calculates the speeds against the runway and intersection selected for takeoff, then you are presented with 2 sets of speeds, a Flex Set of Speeds and a TOGA set of speeds, it also gives you the flap setting to use if you select an option which states Optimum Flap Config,

    Some companies say that if the LPC comes out with Flap 3 you have to then tell it you want Flap 2 and then let it calculate the speeds for this specific flap setting but normally Flap 1 or 2 are used.

    make sense?

    Hey Mike,

    Actually V1, VR and V2 are calculated at least in my company by th e engineering Department and are placed in the planes in large books called Runway analyisis... These books are organized in alphabetical order for Example you have El Salvador our home base, we have a single Runway 07/25 so we have our runway analysis charts for Runway 07 and Runway 25 for Config 1,2 and Config 3 and we have a table on the left side we have the weight in Kilos and then we have several boxes where it ways the wind component from -15knots to I think 15 plus knots for certain Runways so we take the weight... and in the Boxes we check the wind normally we take into account 0 Wind and then the V1,VR,V2 AND flex are shown there for that weight we check the TREF to see if we canuse flex or Toga... Now these charts are made in Base of the Info on the FCOM Volume 2 that deals with Performance for the Bus... it is a bit complicated but actually we don´t look it up anymore in our weight and balance paper is already calculated for us, we can double check it if we want or if by any chance the weight and balance is made for runway 25 and we are taking off from 07 we just check the charts and correct the speeds... We can also get V1,VR,V2 corrections for contaminated runway and other factors that might affect T/O Performance... I think also Boeing in real life is entered via charts not sure though...

    Is a bit complicated sorry but I cannot post these charts online!!

    Take care,

    Roberto.

    By teh way Mike that was an excellent question...
