Turbulent Air Operation; Vsse - Intentional One Engine Inoperative Speed - Piper SEMINOLE PA-44-180 Information Manual

PA-44-180, SEMINOLE
4.41 STALLS
The loss of altitude during a power off stall with the gear and flaps
retracted may be as much as 300 feet.
The stall warning system is inoperative with the
master switch OFF.
During preflight, the stall warning system should be checked by turning
the battery switch on and lightly lifting up on the stall warning vanes on the left
wing to determine if the horn is actuated.

4.43 TURBULENT AIR OPERATION

In keeping with good operating practice used in all aircraft, it is
recommended that when turbulent air is encountered or expected, the airspeed
be reduced to maneuvering speed to reduce the structural loads caused by gusts
and to allow for inadvertent speed build-ups which may occur as a result of the
turbulence or of distractions caused by the conditions. (See Subsection 2.3)
4.45 V - INTENTIONAL ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE SPEED
SSE
V is a speed selected by the aircraft manufacturer as a training aid for
SSE
pilots in the handling of multi-engine aircraft. It is the minimum speed for
intentionally rendering one engine inoperative in flight. This minimum speed
provides the margin the manufacturer recommends for use when intentionally
performing engine inoperative maneuvers during training in the particular
airplane.
V is not a limitation. However, it is recommended that, except for
SSE
training, demonstrations, takeoffs, and landings, the airplane should not be
flown at a speed slower than V
The intentional one engine inoperative speed, V
82 KIAS.
