Touch and Go 

** It's OK to discontinue flight if weather is bad ..  Winds heavy gusts.. etc

V Speed    (Velocity speed)

Vr  - Rotate 
Vx  - best Angle of Climb
Vy  - best Rate of Climb
V glide - Best Glide speed 
Vso  - Stall dirty
Vs -Stall Clean
Vs1 
Vfe - Flaps extended 
Vno - max structrual crusing
Vne  - never exceed
Va - maneuver speed

White Arc  40 -85 knots  Vso to Vfe    (Flaps operating Range)
Green Arc   48 - 129 knots Vs1 to Vno
Yellow Arc  129  - 163 KIAS Vno to Vne
Red Line  Vne - 163 KIAS  Max speed

Best Glide - 65 Knots

Spin
S-Turns

Approaches

RNP Approach
LNAV LNAV/VNAV, LPAV 
RNAV (GPS) Approach  
DME Localizer Approach
ILS Approach
VOR Approach

GPS Acronyms at a Glance

GPS must be WAAS enable to fly LPV  (more precision)

Minimums and Visibility

APV's (Approach with Verticals)     |    

• LPV = Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance  (DA = Decision Altitude lowest amount all)
• LNAV/VNAV  = Lateral and Vertical Navigation (DA Decision Altitude

• LNAV  MDA  = Lateral Navigation, Only Lateral Guidance, not Vertical Guidance, Mimimum Decent Altitude (MDA) higher minimims
• Circuling
