Does anyone know Vx, Vy, Vxse, and Vyse for the PA-31-350?

I looked on the internet, and couldn't find anything, and I don't have the POH. Thanks

Vx- 84
Vy- 101
Vyse- 107

Pretty sure, just keep it above blue line and you'll be fine.

Oh, I've been shown up

... but what is best glide in the hoe?

And it should be noted that those weights are with the VG kit.

I have an excel sheet with that info saved on the computer so it was a simple cut and paste job. You're right, those weights are with an up-gross kit. Not sure what best glide is, for some reason it didn't make my sheet.

There isn't a best glide speed for the hoe.

So what speed is used when you loose both engines???

Most of those speeds are aircraft/mod dependant. Another example is max landing weight. The numbers shown are a good starting point, but I wouldn't commit anything to memory until you get the poh for the actual a/c to be flown.
