Difference between Vo and Va?
Lately I've been flying a Cessna 162 Skycatcher which has two different speeds listed for maneuvering speed. The definitions of both speeds are defined so slightly differently however that one could easily mistake the two.
One is Va (design maneuvering speed), and the other is Vo (maximum operating maneuvering speed). What is the difference between the two? I want to teach a student pilot steep turns and I am not wholly certain which speed I should tell him to beware of....
I reckon that this is also a subject over which not many CFIs have a well refined knowledge. I've asked my other more experienced coworkers how they differ, but even they seem to be clueless!
