In your September 2022 issue, in response to Scott Burkhart’s email, you unnecessarily scare him by stating that VNE is a true airspeed (for his Mooney). In fact, for him, and the vast majority of people who fly certified planes, VNE is an indicated airspeed that is safe to fly (flutter-wise) up to the aircraft’s ceiling.
You had to walk back the “VNE is a true airspeed” claim once before, in May 2011. Why shoot yourselves in the foot and have to do it again?
