What Does VY Stand For?
VY stands for Best Rate Of Climb Speed
VY, or Best Rate of Climb Speed, is an essential aviation parameter representing the speed at which an aircraft gains the maximum altitude in the shortest amount of time. This speed is critical during departure and climb phases, as it optimizes performance and ensures safe ascent, enabling pilots to efficiently clear obstacles and reach cruising altitude while maintaining necessary safety margins.
