As I read it, it said the airspeeds were determined at a given AOA, but it seems to be missing the airspeeds, although "airspeed" is mentioned several times? Is this something they left out on purpose? The point of a Vmc is to assign a minimum airspeed, the talk about AOA doesn't seem as definitive. Is it 10, 12 or 14? Published Vmc airspeed is the FAA requirement, not multiple AOA.
