Hi John,
Are you or is anyone else familiar with the rationale why annual VNE dives are to be completed? I don’t understand the motive.
Thanks

Pete,

The article is 10 years old -a period which represents approximately 1/12 (or 8%
ish) since Wright Bros made their mark. Much can happen in a very short time,
primarily due to the predictive tools we (as aeronautical engineers) have at
our disposal.

Jim's excellent article does, however, still contain good information. The key
elements being that there is a significant factor between Vne and Vd (typically
1.3-1.4), and that flutter should not occur before 1.2Vd. Hence no sane pilot
should get anywhere near. But that also assumes an aircraft is in tip-top
condition.

A simple route is to always fly using IAS. Ensure you have calibrated your ASI,
hence you are effectively flying CAS.

This actually ignites a pet subject of mine - the LAA permit renewal flight test,
which requires us all to be Test Pilots for the day - reaching Vne. A little
bit like cycling toward the edge of Beachy Head but (skillfully) avoiding plummeting
over the edge. We congratulate ourselves we are still alive - and then
have to go and do it again next year..........

Hi Peter, thanks for posting this link to an excellent article - that explains
more clearly than i've ever seen anywhere, how Flutter is initiated and influenced.

Great article on this critical subject. It would be interesting to find out how
the Europa has been evaluated during flight testing of the prototypes, especially
at what max altitude the Vd testing has been actually performed.
BTW it is always instructive to look at certificated aircraft manuals and see how
they handle any issue. The attached page is from the Cirrus SR22T POH. It shows
how they handle the VNE/flutter issue at high altitude. The VNE IAS is reduced
linearly above 17500 ft. from 205 kts to 175 kts at 25000 ft. Very few Europas
are operated at such high altitudes, but it may be advisable for their
pilots to consider reducing their VNE as Cirrus do.
Surprisingly Cirrus also reduce the VNO above 17500 ft: obviously this has nothing
to do with flutter, so why?

Good points John.

RE: the LAA annual VNe dive- what is your understanding of the reasoning behind
this LAA (supported by the UK CAA), requirement?

I'm happy that my Europa is only cleared to 1300lbs MTOWA and therefore I only
have to Vne-dive to 150knts, leaving the XSs to explore the class-envelope at
a much higher speed!

Have just had one of the outriggers break, fortunately no damage.
Anyone in the UK got one or two after a tri-gear mod or just have a spare?

Thanks

To check there is no flutter?
If there is, the test doesn't have to be done again. EVER!
I suppose also to check that the controls haven't 'frozen' and that the aircraft can still be manoeuvred.

I usually just do it. Not really difficult. It is/was the same doing a C of A airtest. The aircraft was flown to VNE also. I suppose its for the reasons given above. Drop the LAA a line and ask the reasons why. There is a brief description on the VNE test in TL 2.06
