Looking at the Van's sheet with all the V-speeds, I was confused by the "Blue Line" entry. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
When I did some multi-engine training, I was taught that "Blue Line" was the V_yse, Best Single-Engine Rate of Climb. Van's describes, properly, "Maneuvering Speed", which is V_a, and is a range which depends on weight.
Assuming the Van's sheet is just wrong on the name Blue Line...what IS the V_a range for the different models?
(Also...does anybody else call V_a "blue line"?)
