Why Maneuvering Speed Changes With Weight
In the previous video titled, "Understanding Maneuvering Speed," I explained how maneuvering speed helps prevent structural damage to the airplane. In this video, I explain why maneuvering speed changes with a change in the airplane's weight. You must watch the first video for this video to make sense.

Hi Rod, great vid. Something I’ve always pondered.
One question though… the utility category usually bumps the G-load up to 4.2Gs. One must assume this is the fixed weight comments are stressed to this baseline. Therefore shouldn’t manoeuvring speeds be referenced to 4.2G?
