The definition of Va from the PHAK "The maximum speed where full, abrupt control movement can be used without overstressing the airframe"

The reason for the range of speeds 88-111 in a Warrior is based on weight
88 = Max Gross Takeoff Weight
111 = Basic Empty Weight

Any flight that you are legally operating (not going over max gross takeoff weight), would fall in that range.
