We use anywhere between 100-120 kts for the line between low/high speed abort criteria. You're right - in the end we are all speaking of the same things but we never call them 'V' speeds. Like I pointed out - our friend here says that he has time in the T-1 Jayhawk, and like you - I wouldn't be surprised that they don't brief 'V' speeds like the civilian world.

I never used V speeds on C130s in the USAF until I moved to the J model. We use V speeds. The single seat trainers I flew didn't use V speeds...just CEFS, etc.
